A powerful op-ed from @kadidakenner. She is right. “The elderly, the poor, those with pre-existing conditions, and especially communities of color who are disproportionately affected have felt the weight of this pandemic with full force.” (thread) https://www.penncapital-star.com/commentary/we-have-to-ensure-pa-s-most-vulnerable-have-access-to-food-during-covid-19-opinion/
We must continue fighting for our most vulnerable families. That’s why I joined my colleagues in calling on Secretary Perdue/ USDA to expand online purchases for SNAP to all states and additional retailers. https://delauro.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/delauro-lowenthal-schakowsky-matsui-lamb-omar-lead-push-expand-access
This is a priority of mine as we continue negotiations on the next stimulus package. We must increase minimum SNAP benefits, stop the rules that weaken SNAP eligibility, and ensure the delivery of food to our neighbors who cannot safely leave their homes. https://www.casey.senate.gov/newsroom/releases/casey-leads-bipartisan-group-of-pennsylvanias-congressional-leaders-in-calling-for-more-snap-investments-in-next-coronavirus-package
