A new rule proposed by President Trump would reduce or erase SNAP benefits (also known as Food Stamps) for nearly 3 million people, with 755,000 people guaranteed to lose their access. This policy change will disproportionately harm people with records and their families, who face 33,600 barriers to employment and are more likely to experience food insecurity and higher levels of poverty. As an organization led and powered by formerly incarcerated and directly impacted people, we are all-too-aware of why SNAP is crucial for people to survive.
We are calling on all JustLeadershipUSA members and supporters to submit a letter to the Trump Administration before April 2nd to demand an end to this dangerous proposal. #handsoffSNAP
SNAP (aka food stamps or EBT) is a government program that assists communities struggling with food insecurity.
The existing and proposed work requirements to receive SNAP benefits ignore the barriers people face to stable and generational wage that people, particularly those with records, must face. As shown by JLUSA’s #WORKINGfuture campaign, there are more 46,000 laws and statutes that people face when they are released from incarceration that bar them from employment or basic benefits.
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
This is going to be a very special time to look back on the past decade of JLUSA’s important work, the 1,600+ leaders we have helped get to the next level in their work, and even more importantly, we will look ahead to the next 10 years and beyond!
We can’t do this without you. We need your support to help us continue to do this work now and into the future. By making a donation in honor of JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, you are saying to the amazing leaders in our network who represent the 70+ million Americans who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system, “I see you, and I support you!”
Please give a one-time $100 gift or set up a recurring $10 monthly donation to celebrate JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, and together we will build a fair and just U.S. Thank you!
