As a state-level advocate, I have to admit I'm a federal policy noob. Thank you @ilewis_225 and Vince Hall for walking us through the Farm Bill 🙏🏽 (which funds 80% of nutrition programs, including SNAP)
Thank you for your leadership that #SNAP matters to #EndHungerNow for college students!
The #EATSAct will end unjust exclusions on #SNAP access for students and help meet their #basicneed for food!

An oldie but goodie - some might say #evergreen - public apps work best without #barriers like account creation
Glad claiming #studentloanforgiveness is simple!

Rent burden one more way how systemic racism drives #hunger and #poverty . Thanks to Shaleah Tolliver @ilewis_225 for these impactful resources to help uncap the shelter deduction and ease the impossible choices between food & shelter.
