The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

If you have even a second to spare today, call these Senate Dems and demand that they don’t cave! (Maybe threaten to support their next primary opponent if they cave 👀)

Hey, Virginians. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is showing signs that he might vote for the CR even if there isn't any provision to secure ACA tax credits. Contact him and tell him not to cave on this. 202-224-2023. #ACA #shutdown #CR
