NYS Organizations Urged to Sign On to SNAP Support Letter to Senator Gillibrand

Every five years, Congress reauthorizes the Farm Bill, a comprehensive piece of legislation that includes, among other items, SNAP/Food Stamps.  This year, the Farm Bill is up for reauthorization.  As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is a key player in the Farm Bill reauthorization effort.

  

Senator Gillibrand has been a champion on behalf of hungry Americans. As Farm Bill deliberations heat up, we need to demonstrate strong and diverse New York State support for SNAP to bolster her efforts.  We are circulating a sign on letter for New York State organizations that urges Senator Gillibrand to stand strong to strengthen and protect SNAP, and to oppose any proposals to cap or reduce funding, restrict eligibility or reduce benefits in SNAP. 

ACTION NEEDED:  

1. Sign your organization onto this critical letter urging Senator Gillibrand to stand strong to strengthen and protect SNAP.
2. Please distribute the letter and encourage other New York State groups in your network to sign.
