Trump is choosing to make Americans \u2013 including children \u2013 go hungry.<\/p>

Millions of Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to feed their families. But for the first time in our country\u2019s history, Trump\u2019s shutdown is cutting them off [1] \u2013 right before the holidays.<\/p>

And it\u2019s not because there\u2019s no money \u2013 we\u2019re the richest country in the world. It\u2019s because Trump refuses to use it.<\/strong><\/p>

Trump\u2019s USDA is sitting on a $6 billion emergency fund \u2013 and his administration\u2019s own documents said just last month that it should be used to feed people in need during a shutdown. [2] But Trump doesn't care.<\/p>

If millions of starving children doesn\u2019t count as a genuine national emergency, what does? Trump is making a <\/em>political choice to let people go hungry \u2013 and we need your help to expose it.<\/p>

SIGN THE PETITION: Tell Trump to stop using hungry children as pawns, stop the cruelty, and use emergency funds to feed America\u2019s families now >><\/strong><\/p>
