Congress recently passed the Republican Budget Bill (also known as H.R. 1 or the “One Big Beautiful Bill”), a bill that will go down in history for its cruelty and recklessness. This bill cuts SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) by an unprecedented $186 billion – the largest cut in history. The bill strips away food, health coverage and other basic necessities to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, increase funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and boost military spending.
Hunger is already a crisis in Oregon—1 in 8 people experience food insecurity, including 1 in 6 children. Last year, our network of over 1,200 community-based partners saw a 31% increase in demand, serving 2.5 million visits at food assistance sites across the state. The Republican Budget Bill will only make it worse. An estimated one million children will lose food assistance. Thousands of us Oregonians who are already struggling will have to sacrifice even more to make ends meet.
Use our digital tool to write to your U.S. Senators and Representative and tell them to reverse this cruel policy that will increase hunger and hurt Oregonians.
