Write to Your Members of Congress

Globally, hundreds of millions of people are on the brink of starvation. And levels of U.S hunger are now higher than during the Great Depression. Your persistent advocacy last year helped extend both Pandemic-EBT and SNAP food benefits, bringing hope to millions of families. Yet, the social and economic impacts of the pandemic continue to devastate families and communities in the United States and around the world.

Your voice is needed now more than ever to ensure that the new administration and new Congress provide support for those who need it the most.

Dear [ Senator / Representative ],

* Personalize your message for the most impact:

Hunger is reaching historic levels. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to devastate vulnerable communities across the United States with a disproportionate impact on Black, Latino, and Native American families, and immigrants, and worsening the effects of hunger and poverty around the globe.

The pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities in our safety net and food systems. Families need help right now. Specifically, Congress should:

* Increase the child tax credit (CTC) from its current level of $2,000 per child to $3,600 per child under six years old and $3,000 per child for ages six through 17 and modify the credit to make it available via monthly payments.
* Make permanent the 15 percent increase in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the summer EBT program to ensure families have the nutrition they need during tough times.
* Provide at least $20 billion in funding for the global response to COVID-19 to avert a human catastrophe that will rob an entire generation of their God-given right to flourish.
* Provide at least $3 billion for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).

Now more than ever, my faith calls me to stand alongside impacted people in my community and around the world. Let us work together to ensure freedom from hunger as a core principle of U.S. policy and build food systems that support our goal of ending hunger and malnutrition.

Sincerely,
