Add Your Name: Tell Trump to keep his hands off SNAP

Last month, I joined Governor Bob Ferguson to hand out free lunches at Lynnwood Elementary. After handing out lunch, I heard firsthand from the Edmonds School District staff about how President Trump's Big Ugly Law could impact food insecurity in Snohomish County.

When President Trump fast-tracked his Big Ugly Law earlier this summer, he cut approximately $186 billion in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding through 2034. Every month, around 1 million Washingtonians rely on SNAP benefits to purchase food. The Big Ugly Law puts 14,000 people in Northwest Washington at risk of losing food assistance through SNAP benefits.

We need to stand up for our communities and our values, and tell President Trump to keep his hands off SNAP. Sign our petition to let Trump know that his ugly SNAP budget cuts go against Northwest Washington values, and we, as voters, will not let this stand.

The Big Ugly Law is literally taking food away from hungry families to pay for one of the largest tax breaks in American history, which is largely going to the richest Americans and the largest corporations. We need to let Trump know that we do not stand for these destructive budget cuts, and we will continue to fight them every step of the way.

More soon,

Rick
