GET INVOLVED BY TAKING ACTION ON CRITICAL ISSUES IMPACTING NEBRASKANS AND OUR COMMUNITIES
Your voice is important in ensuring that we are building a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive Nebraska.
ARE YOU DEALING WITH A SNAP OVERPAYMENT?
You’re not alone. SNAP benefits are supposed to reduce food insecurity for low-income Nebraskans, not increase their financial hardship. Unfortunately, we know that around 7,000 Nebraska households deal with a SNAP overpayment (approximately $6.5 million) every year, often through no fault of their own. You can share your experience regarding Nebraska SNAP overpayments with us at Nebraska Appleseed. If you choose to fill out this form, our team might reach out to you to discuss your SNAP overpayment experience further.
We also have additional information available on our SNAP Overpayments page.
Protect Nebraskans’ Health Care – Extend Premium Tax Credits!
Congress recently passed and the President signed into law a devastating budget reconciliation bill that will rip away health care and food access from tens of thousands of Nebraskans in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires and sweeping deportations of everyday working people that will separate families.
Your voice is needed – tell our members of Congress to act NOW to ensure health coverage is affordable. Call or edit the email template to your members and tell them to:
Extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace’s enhanced Advance Premium Tax Credits (APTCs). The Marketplace provides health coverage to over 135,000 Nebraskans, and over 100,000 Nebraskans rely on APTCs to afford their care.
We need policy change, NOT punishment – It’s time for positive immigration laws!
Recently Governor Jim Pillen announced that ICE plans to repurpose a facility in McCook, Nebraska, as a large-scale federal detainment camp to incarcerate up to 300 immigrant community members from Nebraska and surrounding states.
This is not who we are. Nebraska is a state that welcomes our neighbors and values the contributions of local moms, dads, coworkers, neighbors, and friends.
The country’s immigration laws have not been meaningfully updated in nearly 40 years. Call or email Nebraska’s members of Congress to tell them it’s time for positive, updated immigration laws that create stability for local families and communities.

We Want To Hear Your Health Care Story!
Your Voice Makes a Difference. The work that we do at Nebraska Appleseed is driven by hearing from Nebraskans like you. Our Health Care Access Program is fighting for quality health care that is affordable and accessible for all.
By sharing your story with us, it helps us ensure that our work is community led, strengthens our calls for change by connecting policies to the lives of real Nebraskans, and builds community power by pushing for policies that actually serve our communities.
