Citing a hunger ‘crisis,’ U.S. mayors call for end to federal SNAP cuts

Over 200 U.S. mayors are urging Congress to reverse significant cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which they argue will remove vital support from millions of people in need. These cuts are expected to cost states billions and could exacerbate an already dire hunger crisis across the country. The mayors’ plea highlights the potential widespread impact on food security and the economy, making it a crucial issue for lawmakers to address. This push for change underscores the urgency of maintaining robust social safety nets.
