Ras Baraka joins other US mayors calling for end to federal SNAP cuts

Ras Baraka, along with over 200 other US mayors, is urging the federal government to reverse proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which would slash funding and potentially remove millions from food assistance. These cuts are projected to cost states billions, straining local budgets and exacerbating hunger issues in communities. The call to action highlights the significant impact such reductions could have on vulnerable populations, emphasizing the critical need for federal support to maintain essential food assistance programs.
