National Call-In Day to Protect SNAP

National Call-In Day to Protect SNAP

Wednesday, Dec. 4 is a National Day of Action to protect SNAP. Anyone can call their member of Congress using this toll-free number: (877) 752-6479. When prompted, enter your zip code and listen to the brief instructions. Sample message:

  • As a constituent, I’m hoping [MEMBER OF CONGRESS] will oppose any cuts to SNAP as you consider the Farm Bill and other legislation this year.
  • Current SNAP proposals would be devastating to families and children across the country and would cause more than 4 million people to lose benefits entirely. In WA, hundreds of thousands of households would see cuts or lose benefits altogether and WA can’t afford that.
  • I am asking [MEMBER OF CONGRESS] to oppose cuts to SNAP.

Join and promote our Thunderclap on Dec. 4 via Facebook & Twitter – Get the message out before Wednesday.
