“When your children are hungry, what do you do?” – Kerry
Our lawmakers need to hear it’s time to End the SNAP Ban in Nebraska!
✅ LB319, a bill to end Nebraska’s lifetime SNAP ban for people convicted of felony drug convictions, will be up on Select File debate as early this morning.
LB319 would…
- Reduce recidivism by helping people get what they need to live,
- Get more kids more food by adding banned parents back into their SNAP household,
- Support more farmers, ranchers and grocers as SNAP adds to local economies,
- Help people meet their fundamental need to eat.
Appleseed has worked with the bill sponsor to draft an amendment to give the bill the best chance to pass as possible, AM1176. This bipartisan amendment is a significant step forward in ensuring all Nebraskans have the ability to access food.
As Kerry says in the video above, “Until you’ve walked a mile in another man’s shoes, you don’t know what they’ve been through.” What would you do if your children were hungry?
