January is Poverty Awareness Month–Your action needed
Take action and show your support for state and federal investment in programs that reduce poverty. Federal cuts to SNAP and Medicaid contained in H.R.1 (Big, Beautiful Bill) are expected to be devastating to those who rely on each for food and healthcare. The White House has announced future cuts to funding for Permanently Supportive Housing–cuts that would most certainly result in currently housed people finding themselves unsheltered.
While anyone can find themselves in need of such assistance, the groups who most often need to access resources are children, the elderly, and disabled individuals. To read an op-ed I wrote with Ethan Amos, Executive Director of the Flagstaff Family Food Center before the passage of H.R.1, see my post here.
