Act NOW: Social Media Advocacy Needed to Protect
SNAP, TANF, Medicaid in Debt Ceiling Talks
Stand Firm on Not Increasing #Poverty #Hunger
in #DebtCeiling Negotiations As deliberations on raising the nation’s debt ceiling continue, anti-hunger advocates are utilizing social media to urge Congress (leadership and Members) and the White House (President Biden) to stay strong on a debt ceiling bill that does not increase hunger and poverty. Join FRAC and others in national days of action during the week of May 22. FRAC's social media resources are below, and the Coalition on Human Needs has created a #DebtCeiling toolkit, to use in your advocacy. Use these sample posts to engage your Members of Congress, congressional leadership, and @POTUS to keep their commitment to pass a debt ceiling bill that in no way leads to an increase in hunger and poverty.
