(🧵 1/3) “Only 37% of eligible older adults are participating in SNAP. This is unacceptable. This benefit program is there and meant to be used in times of need.”

“The WH conference got us in the same room, lifted up great ideas, and gave us an evidence-based path forward. No matter your race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. food has the power to unite us all”. -Rep. Jim McGovern

HUGE NEWS: The government funding package @POTUS Biden signed into law today includes $2,500,000 I secured to make a White House conference on Food, Nutrition, Health & Hunger a reality!
This is a transformational moment in our movement to #EndHungerNow.

I'm asking the @WhiteHouse to hold a major policy conference on ending hunger in America.
171+ food, nutrition, hunger & health groups are on board.
My language directing OMB to convene a conference just passed the House.
We're gaining momentum. We can & will #EndHungerNow!
Thanks to @RootCauseCo and 170 other organizations for sharing a letter with Chairman @RepMcGovern and Ranking Member @TomColeOK04 about the desire to #EndHungerNow and hold a White House conference on hunger. Together we can solve this crisis!

Hunger in America isn't a new problem. But it is a solvable one.
In 1969 the first and only @WhiteHouse Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health led to landmark legislation and less hunger.
It's time for new voices, new ideas and a new White House conference to #EndHungerNow.
