21 States Stand Up to Protect Immigrant Families’ Food Aid

Hi friend,

In case you missed it, 21 states and Washington, D.C. just took a major stand for compassion and fairness — suing the Trump administration for unlawfully restricting legal immigrants’ access to SNAP, the nation’s most essential anti-hunger program.

The lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, challenges new USDA guidance that would wrongly bar refugees, asylum seekers, and other legal permanent residents from receiving food assistance. State officials warn the policy violates federal law, creates chaos in state systems, and puts millions of families at risk.

Their message is simple — and powerful: America doesn’t solve problems by taking food away from people.

✍️ Add your name to applaud these states for defending fairness, fighting hunger, and protecting immigrant families from unlawful harm!

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,
