Tonight is Yom Kippur, when we're called to recommit to our highest values. Instead, Republicans have shut down the government, putting food security at risk for tens of millions. Mothers, babies, SNAP recipients, 47 million Americans struggling with hunger are abandoned. What a disgrace.

As we near the end of the Days of Awe, we're called to teshuvah, return. A coming back to who we're meant to be. At MAZON, we believe no one in a nation this abundant should go hungry. We're working to transform the systems that allow hunger to persist. But we can't do it without you. Join us:

On this National Day of Remembrance for U.S. Indian Boarding School Survivors, we honor survivors and their families. By separating children from their communities and land, our government deliberately cut off the transmission of traditional food knowledge from one generation to the next. 1/3

We're heading toward another government shutdown. Here we go again. Nearly 7M women and children could lose WIC, a program feeding half of all babies in America This isn't politics. It's basic needs. Read an op-ed from CEO Abby J. Leibman from last time we faced this:

The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur give us a special moment to pause, reflect, and choose a better path for ourselves and the world around us. During this sacred season, teshuvah asks us to act with compassion and courage, to step forward and help build a world where no one goes hungry.

We wish you and your loved ones a sweet, healthy, and meaningful new year. 🍎🍯 Shanah tovah!

The Trump administration just canceled the USDA's hunger tracking reports after 30 years. As we approach Rosh Hashanah, this betrays everything we hold sacred. 47 million Americans face hunger and now they're invisible. The shofar calls us to wake up and speak truth. Will you listen?

Federal judge temporarily blocks USDA's massive SNAP data grab! 21 states + DC fought back and WON. Our parallel lawsuit with coalition partners continues. Message to USDA: Follow the law. Protect privacy. Stop targeting people struggling with food insecurity.

New @centeronbudget.bsky.social data: Nearly 2M children under 3 lived in food-insecure households in 2023. That's 1 in 6 babies and toddlers facing hunger. The disparities across racial lines are even starker. America has the resources. We need the poltical will.

USDA announced a massive "reorganization" that could impact food assistance for millions. The plan cuts staff and closes key offices – all without proper notice. This threatens SNAP, WIC, and school meals. Programs that feed hungry families shouldn't be decided behind closed doors. Learn more:

Over 2.7M people will be forced off SNAP after the largest cut to food assistance in history. CBO analysis: $187B in cuts will leave millions without food. In our 40 years of fighting, we've faced setbacks before. We're strategizing to make this immoral act right again. Take Action:

We partnered with Our Big Kitchen LA and BBYO to educate teens about hunger in America. 47 million people face hunger, including 14 million children. These young advocates wrote postcards to the USDA and made 300+ meals for Angelenos. Advocacy is a long game, but every voice moves the needle.

The new reality of hunger in America: SNAP cuts will strip food benefits from 2M people. SNAP provides nine times more food than all food banks Tracy Kidder's devastating piece "A New Era of Hunger Has Begun" shows what this means on the ground 47M Americans face hunger, including 13.8M children

We joined @aft.org, unions, activists & legal experts for a full-page NYT ad slamming the "big, ugly betrayal" - a billionaire-first agenda rammed through Congress. This takes food off tables, abandons public education, and erodes social programs. See the full ad: bit.ly/4eO3GA7

🚨 FACT CHECK 🚨 Secretary Rollins is WRONG. Undocumented immigrants cannot access SNAP benefits. USDA's own website clearly states: "Undocumented non-citizens are not and have never been eligible for SNAP." This misinformation creates fear in communities and prevents families from seeking help.

Congratulations to our amazing and dedicated partner, National Association of FDPIR President Mary Greene Trottier on her 40th anniversary as FDPIR Director for her Tribe, the Spirit Lake Nation! Thank you for fighting for those who are hungry!

"Passage of this bill will starve the bodies of millions of our fellow Americans across the country. And it will also starve the souls of those who vote for it." Read the full op-ed by Rabbi Elyse Wechterman

By slashing billions from food assistance while expanding harsh work rules, Republicans are deliberately targeting women—especially single mothers—who rely on SNAP to keep their families fed. Read our CEO Abby J. Leibman's op-ed in @msmagazine.com msmagazine.com/2025/07/03/s...

Republicans just passed the largest cuts to SNAP in history, stripping food from millions including children, seniors, veterans, single mothers, and so many others. We're heartbroken and livid. No one should go hungry to benefit the wealthy few. We will fight back. Read our full statement:

🚨 We are outraged. Senate Republicans just barely passed the largest SNAP cuts in history, stripping food from veterans, single mothers, and working familes. This bill robs those with the least and gives to the richest. We will keep fighting! Make sure the House hears from us. Take action:
