PROTECT MEDICAID AND SNAP
MEDICAID & SNAP ARE IN DANGER!
On May 22nd, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a federal budget that will devastate the lives of millions of families, including many right here in Tennessee. The budget slashes funding for Medicaid (“TennCare” in Tennessee) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as “food stamps”), crippling those programs and using the savings to pay for the big tax cuts. The budget now moves to the Senate.

We must lift up our neighbors who have no access to health insurance, face barriers to SNAP, have delayed care, as well as those who are thriving because of public programs like TennCare and SNAP. Sharing personal experiences with these programs are critical tools in changing the hearts and minds of decision-makers, and TJC is here to support you in amplifying that story.
