It’s the last day of early voting! Quick ask for while you drive to the polls. Make a call to our congressional delegation and tell ‘em to DELAY the state getting burdened with the cost of SNAP and to ACT about the 82,064 children in Louisiana who have lost snap.*

After lots of listening and meetings and then a ton of emailing and texting candidate THE ANSWERS ARE IN!

If a candidate you like for state office, house and senate didn’t answer you can ask them to still. Food and water are integral to our culture in Louisiana. Vote for people who share you values, whatever they are!

Wishing that impacted Louisiana families were eating hot food tonight with their SNAP dollars and that Louisiana food businesses were making that revenue in these slower summer months.

We need to be funding and supporting social safety net programs like SNAP, not pushing them to do more with less.
