Last week, @WhipKClark, @RepPressley & I joined @Gr8BosFoodBank & @MassGenBrigham to spotlight local solutions fighting hunger while Trump & House Republicans push cruel cuts to SNAP, WIC & Medicaid.
Food is medicine. Stop the cuts. #EndHungerNow.
Thank you, Senator Lovely, for supporting the Hunger Free Campus Initiative! (H.1466/S.939) #endcampushunger #mapoli

BIG NEWS: Enrollment is up at community colleges and public four year universities! 🎓
When we make higher education more accessible and affordable, we'll have more workers trained with the skills that are most in demand by employers in today's economy.
