Meanwhile, encourage your senator to OPPOSE LB 258, undercutting voter-approved minimum wage, and LB 89, which would impose harmful gender restrictions aimed at excluding trans and gender nonconforming young people.
The House Ag Committee is considering a bill that would slash billions from SNAP — putting food assistance at risk for tens of thousands of Nebraska kids. The committee is set to begin its mark-up process tonight at 7:30 PM, concluding by the end of the day tomorrow.
SNAP keeps children healthy, reduces hunger, and supports working families. These cuts would increase food insecurity and hurt Nebraska’s economy.
It's a busy day at the Nebraska legislature and there are a lot of important bills for kids and families moving. Several priority bills are up for debate throughout the day, and your Nebraska state senator needs to hear from you!
Please take two minutes to contact them now and express your SUPPORT for bills like LB 192 and LB 319 that will help feed hungry Nebraska kids.
🚨 Proposed SNAP Cuts Threaten Nebraska Families 🚨
Thank you to Rep. Don Bacon for recognizing the importance of not shifting costs for SNAP to the states.
The bill:
❌ Expands harsh work requirements
❌ Limits who counts as a dependent child
❌ Forces states to shoulder more costs
❌ Makes it harder to respond to rural economic needs
