Tell the House of Representatives: Reject a Farm Bill that Leaves SNAP Cuts in Place

Congress made historic cuts to SNAP last year. The Farm Bill, soon coming to a vote in the House, could be the last chance to undo that. If it passes without fixing it, the next opportunity could be 2031.

What To Say

WHEN THEY PICK UP OR YOU REACH VOICEMAIL:

“Hi, my name is [your name] and I’m a constituent calling from [your city/town]. I’m calling about the Farm Bill soon coming up for a vote. I want Representative [name] to vote against the bill unless it supports reversing the SNAP cuts that were made last year, or at the very least, delays their implementation. The Farm Bill is the best chance to fix this, and I’d like them to take it. Thank you for your time.”

You don’t need to say anything else. If they ask questions you don’t know the answer to, “I just want my call noted in support of restoring SNAP funding” is enough. You don’t have to be an expert. You just have to call.

What You Need to Know

1. This is our chance to undo historic cuts to SNAP 

Last year, Congress made the biggest cuts to SNAP in the program’s history, resulting in 2.5 million people losing their grocery benefits already despite the fact that not all changes have gone into effect yet.

2. The Farm Bill is where SNAP lives

Most people picture farms when they hear "Farm Bill," but food assistance is actually a major part of this legislation and it’s the primary way Congress sets SNAP policy.

3. Farm Bill policy is set for 5 years

This isn't something Congress will revisit next year. Whatever Congress passes in the final Farm Bill will set the terms through at least 2031, or longer. What passes in the House will be sent to the Senate to vote on.

4. Your voice matters

Calls and voicemails get logged. This is genuinely one of those moments where constituent contact moves votes. Let's make sure they hear us loud and clear.
