RAPID RESPONSE – Back to school: Fund SNAP, not ICE!

Call, write, or visit your U.S. Senators and Representative as the new school year starts to demand they immediately stop school-bus ICE raids and restore funds to SNAP and Medicaid! Congress should be making it easier for children to arrive at school healthy and ready to learn, not funding ICE’s seizing of parents at school bus stops while cutting funds for health coverage, nutrition assistance, and resources that schools rely on.

Investigate the ongoing ICE raids in Connecticut and Texas with full accountability for the targeting and terrorizing of families at schools, daycares, and bus stops. Stop funding ICE! In the upcoming Farm Bill, reject any new cuts to nutrition and healthcare programs for children and families’ basic needs! Restore and expand funds to SNAP and Medicaid!

Call 202-225-3121 today and ask for your U.S. Senators and Representative. Click here to send them a letter.

Then, fill in your info to send a short letter to your elected officials. And please share with your coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors.
