This shutdown showed how essential SNAP is for the 42 million people who rely on it to put food on the table. People cannot go without benefits, and states cannot carry the weight of higher costs and administrative burdens. frac.org/news/shutdow...

The Trump administration has the money & authority to fund SNAP—but refuses to act. Millions are going hungry while states and advocates fight to protect families from a crisis that never should have happened. Read more in our newest blog from SNAP Director Gina Plata-Nino: frac.org/blog/the-tru...

The Trump administration has both the power and the authority to ensure that SNAP benefits continue uninterrupted but has chosen not to act. In doing so, it is holding hungry Americans hostage as political chess pieces. bit.ly/47BkcQx

Trump Administration Defies Court Orders to Fund #SNAP, Denies 42 Million People Access to Food @fracposts.bsky.social Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an appeal seeking to overturn not only today’s ruling, but prior court orders from Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 requiring funding of SNAP benefits

FRAC is outraged. The DOJ filed an appeal seeking to overturn not only today’s ruling, but prior court orders from Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 requiring funding of SNAP benefits. This action is abhorrent and unconscionable. Read our statement: frac.org/news/adminis...

FRAC is thrilled that the Trump administration has been ordered by a federal judge to fully fund November SNAP benefits. Read our full statement here: frac.org/news/federal...

Billionaires don’t worry about where their next meal will come from. But families counting on SNAP are facing benefit delays. USDA must issue full November SNAP benefits. bit.ly/47qoYBD

The Trump administration’s announcement that it will comply with the Court’s order and begin using contingency funds to partially pay November SNAP benefits as the government shutdown continues is an important step, but comes many days late and billions of dollars short.

FRAC is heartened by the Rhode Island federal court’s order released yesterday, which provides legal clarity that the Trump admin. has the authority and obligation to fully fund SNAP benefits.

Our children should have the nutrition they need to succeed. This is not a partisan issue. We urge USDA to make the right choice: Act immediately to ensure no child in this country has to go hungry. @FRACposts.bsky.social aftvoices.org/usda-is-choo...

This Halloween, the scariest thing isn’t ghosts — it’s an empty fridge. USDA must act to fund SNAP.

USDA can act today to make sure millions of families receive their SNAP benefits on time. Delaying action means children, parents, veterans, people with disabilities, and older adults go without food. There is no reason for families to wait.

ask your Representatives who sit on the House Agriculture Committee to write to USDA Sec Rollins now @resultsorg.bsky.social @fracposts.bsky.social

"Historically, both Republican and Democratic administrations found ways to sustain SNAP during budget crises and shutdowns in 2013, 2018-2019, and the almost shutdown in 2023, by using contingency funds, carryover appropriations, and short-term adjustments. The authority remains intact."

We are standing with advocates across the country to say that hunger is a policy choice. USDA has the authority to sustain SNAP, just as it has in past shutdowns. Hungry people can’t wait.

The tools to protect SNAP during this shutdown already exist — USDA has used them before. What’s missing now is the political will to prevent hunger. FRAC’s Gina Plata-Niño explains: frac.org/blog/politic...

"We are pleased that there are efforts to prioritize the nutritional needs of at-risk babies, young children, and parents with low incomes, during the government shutdown by ensuring critical funding for WIC. But this funding cannot just be a stop gap measure.” - Crystal FitzSimons, FRAC President

Without USDA’s Household Food Security report, policymakers will lose the data needed to see who’s being left behind — and hunger will become easier to ignore. FRAC President Crystal FitzSimons’ explains why this matters: frac.org/blog/lets-be...

WIC supports pregnant and postpartum individuals, infants, and children with healthy food, nutrition education, and health care referrals. Families can’t afford cuts. Congress must fully fund WIC for FY2026. Send your message now: secure.everyaction.com/52FxE_bL7kuT...

USDA has announced that states have until Nov. 1 to implement the harshest cuts to SNAP in decades. We strongly encourage our followers to use this @fracposts.bsky.social form to tell their members of Congress to reverse the cuts: secure.everyaction.com/xf5JzY9MDEGu...

Continuing a disturbing practice of providing no advance notice of massive change without allowing time for individuals, governments, nonprofits and businesses to cope or plan for transitions. This capriciousness intensifies the chaos and damage done.

FRAC is deeply disappointed that the USDA quietly released an alarming memo late last week announcing that states have until November 1 to implement some of the most harmful cuts to the SNAP in decades. Read our full statement here: frac.org/news/deadlin...
