RECOGNIZING MAZON'S “NO ONE DESERVES TO GO HUNGRY” CAMPAIGN
HON. ANGIE CRAIG
of minnesota
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, March 25, 2026
Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, the list of the Trump administration's reckless attacks on SNAP, our country's largest and most efficient anti-hunger program, is miles long:
demanding SNAP participants' personal data, spreading misinformation about SNAP and fraud, failing to uphold their duties to states and program beneficiaries, eliminating 30 percent of USDA staff, haphazardly eliminating and relocating many regional offices and more.
postcards to USDA. These postcards flooding USDA send a clear message: that no one deserves to go hungry and SNAP must be protected, not cut.
represent the more than 47 million Americans that are facing financial instability and aren't sure where their next meal will come from.
hunger in America and the need to take positive action to address it— not exacerbate it, as Republicans in Congress and the White House have chosen to do over the past year.
community organizations, and nonprofits; some even hosted postcard writing parties where they invited their loved ones to take part in communal action with them.
hope. A reminder that we should continue challenging politicians who say that America can't afford to feed its people.
things that matter. I hope that they remind the Secretary of her duty to carry out SNAP in good faith and as it was intended: to provide for the basic nutritional needs of the American people; to provide a hand up at a time when so many need help affording groceries, rent, utilities and childcare.
