it’s admittedly been a while but iirc I needed to have at least a 20hr job to receive food stamps during my undergrad because being a full-time student wasn’t “enough” to “earn” them
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

I’m seeing some reports that Oregonians have been getting money deposited into their SNAP accounts today which is great news. We’ve got to continue to care for our community and plan for if it gets pulled again next month.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
