Feed People

Hidden by the government shutdown were major changes to SNAP eligibility triggered by the “Big Beautiful Bill” in July. New work and reporting requirements mean many Americans will lose eligibility—and hunger in America was already a serious issue. Rising food prices and a crashing economy will make the situation even worse.

We take the momentum built in November and double-down in mutual aid. Feeding our neighbors with dignity and respect is as fundamental an act of care as we can take. When you feel helpless, or hopeless, feed someone. Give graciously and remember everyone deserves a treat now and then. Avoid judgement. Serve your neighbors with joy.

Costco has re-asserted its commitment to DEI and fair pay repeatedly over the years. It beat the Trump administration over tariffs, too. If bulk buys are too much for your family or space, consider a mini co-op or donate spare units to a food bank.

Support local farming

Small farms are critical to our future, and they face all the obstacles of small business, plus land pressure. Push back! Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) takes many forms, but one of the most common is the “box of produce” model. You buy a subscription, and get a box with seasonal produce from Spring through Fall. The earlier you order, the easier it is for farms to plan, so look into it now!

Snack stop

Do you run a mutual-aid or community-building space? Set up a snack stop. It can be as simple as a bowl of sealed snacks for anyone who missed lunch. Normalize using it. Make it a “take one, leave one” for afternoon pick-me-ups.

Spill the Tea

Create tiny afternoon pick-me-ups to brighten someone’s day, and “spill the tea” on your favorite form of resistance. Create a ‘zine with a list of local businesses engaged in mutual aid, or spread the word about an action (Whistles?) or a resource like this web site. Write little encouraging notes or details about an upcoming protest and tuck them into packs of afternoon joy.

Spreading joy is resistance!

Tithe for Change

If you are a member of a religious organization call the office and ask how to get involved with the program feeding and housing people in your area. Volunteer or donate to that committee or group.

If your religious organization isn’t feeding hungry Americans, divert your usual contributions to a group that is. Tell them you’re doing this until SNAP is restored.
