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.
Tell Congress NO to slashing health care & food programs to fund separating families!
Right now, Congress is considering budget legislation that would slash healthcare, food access, and other essential public services – in order to fund sweeping deportations of longtime community members and to expand tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.
Now is the time to tell our members of Congress that Nebraskans support stability for immigrant community members and whole communities, NOT budgets that would cut health care, take food off the table, and separate local families and neighbors who are stuck in limbo because of long-outdated immigration laws.
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.
Tell Congress It’s Time for Positive Immigration Laws
Congress has not meaningfully updated our immigration laws in more than 35 years, causing unnecessary harm to Nebraska families and whole communities.
Tell Nebraska’s members of Congress it’s time for positive immigration laws and stability for local families and communities.

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.
