You'll never guess who's trying to take away food from hungry kids

You'll never guess who's trying to take away food from hungry kids

Last night, the House of Representatives did the unthinkable: They voted to steal food right out of the mouths of hungry children.

Conservatives pushed through $40 billion in cuts to food stamps (a.k.a. SNAP--the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). If it becomes law, it would kick 4 million hungry people off of SNAP next year and force countless children to go to bed hungry.

There's going to be a fight in Washington over whether to enact the House bill as it stands or whether it can be scaled back. To win this fight, we have got to get the word out about what these cuts mean for families. Can you share this infographic that lays out the facts about this obscene attack on hungry families?
