That memory of stress, and the threat of hunger, is a reality that I take into this work as Chairwoman of this Subcommittee. My lived experience has shown me that SNAP, and other safety net programs, are not just hand-outs for people unwilling to work toward self-sufficiency. — PolitiTweet.org

As a young mother, I worked two jobs and attended school. But I still qualified for benefits. SNAP allowed me to put food in my children’s mouths while I worked by way to economic stability. — PolitiTweet.org

Hungry children were oftentimes the students that passed through my classroom doors. As a teacher,I did all I could because I knew the impact of empty bellies on learning & engagement. Child hunger is not only a policy failure, it is a moral failure.(1/4) https://t.co/DRjeEl2WPo — PolitiTweet.org
