Tell our VA Senators to Reject SNAP Cuts!

June 11, 2025
By: Saalam Bhatti

“Did you know that nearly 35,000 of our neighbors in Henrico County rely on SNAP to put food on the table and that 263 grocery and convenience stores throughout the county accept SNAP benefits? Both groups and so many others will be impacted if the House’s Budget Bill passes the Senate.” Learn more in this post by our own neighbor, Salaam Bhatti, who advocates to protect basic needs nationally and on his blog.

“What brings me out is the future of my grandchildren and my great grandchildren and bad things for the working class. People fought so hard to get us where we are, I was hoping we’d never go back, we’d just keep moving forward and make it better. But we’re going backward, and it’s getting worse.”

Amy Good Trouble

“I object to what’s going on. Every morning I wake up and open the newspaper like ‘What fresh hell will there be today?’ And there are so many issues that I’m absolutely horrified by that it’s hard to list them all. My partner is on Medicaid and they craftily cut it – for after the midterms. He has a large number of health issues, and it’s going to be very difficult for him to get healthcare. It’ll be really tough.”
