CNR Call In Days
We have a matter of days before the House goes home for the election. House members are being urged to pass the Senate version of child nutrition reauthorization funded with SNAP cuts before they leave!
Message: Far too many children - especially low-income children -- lack the nutrition they need to be healthy and successful. Urge the House to fund and pass a strong child nutrition bill now that increases children's opportunities for healthy meals both in and out of school -- and do so without cutting SNAP/Food Stamps.
Call In Days: From now through September 24th, make your CNR calls to Members of Congress toll-free via 1-877-425-4810 (courtesy of Voices for America's Children). In conjunction with the CNR Call-In Days, FRAC is hosting a "Tweetdown to CNR" to convey messages to Congress and the White House.
FRAC Resources: Watch for more detailed messages for the CNR Call-In Days and legislative updates to be posted to FRAC's website.
Sign and Circulate Letter Opposing Cuts to SNAP: More than 1,600 national, state, and community-based organizations have signed the letter opposing cuts to SNAP benefits. Help grow the list of signers. Click here for details.
