1 out of every 8 Americans is on food assistance — but that's just the current snapshot of this moment. When you think about how many people have ever been on food assistance at any point in their life, the number is far higher.
Because life happens.
The beauty of having a safety net is that it can be there for you on your worst day, so that you can get on your feet and pay it forward on your best day.
There are way too many people that want to advance the idea that needing help at any point in your life is shameful.
I don't think we should be ashamed that we are a nation that feeds its children.
I don't think we should be ashamed that we are a nation that helps people on their worst day.
Because we will all have a worst day — including the wealthy and billionaires.
Because when they crash the economy, and their assets are leveraged out the wazoo, who do they run to for help? They run to the government for bailouts.
Corporations and billionaires get more in welfare than a single mom ever will.
Just because they don't have to pull out an EBT card in public, don't get it twisted: They're getting more of a leg up than any of us.
My family relied on food assistance after my dad died.
My mom became a single mom overnight with two kids, and EBT, WIC, etc was there for us. Frankly, if it wasn't for that, I can only imagine the kind of decisions we would have to make. I likely would not be where I am today.
There are a lot of Republicans in office that have benefitted from social safety net programs, and they don't want you to know, because they have internalized all of this shame.
This is the natural outcome of our systems.
If people don't want people to be on SNAP, WIC, and EBT, they can't also be opposing minimum wage increases, too.
So today, we're still supporting food banks that are supporting more than 3 million New Yorkers who are in need as their food benefits become a political chip for Republicans.
If you can, will you split a $3 donation—$1 to each organization—between Elmor, RAP4Bronx, and City Harvest who are increasing their capacity to help those who are struggling to put food on the table in New York?
So today, we're still supporting food banks that are supporting more than 3 million New Yorkers who are in need as their food benefits become a political chip for Republicans.
100% of your contribution will go to these incredible community-based organizations.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
