Human Needs Champion Rep. Rosa DeLauro said: "Not only as a member of Congress, but as a woman of faith,
we need to care for the vulnerable, to welcome the stranger, to feed the hungry, and to heal the sick.
These are the principles that connect us together as a community."

Rev. Dr. Leslie Copeland-Tune of the National Council of Churches led the prayer: "I declare today, not having healthcare for 24 million people so that rich people can be richer is terror on the Earth. God, we ask even in the midst of all of this, that you would shower on us your love."

The Child Tax Credit lifted millions of people out of poverty, including lawfully-present immigrant families, allowing them to buy the food, clothing, & housing they need. Cutting the Child Tax Credit cuts parents’ ability to care for their families. #NotOnMyWatch

More than 40 million people, including lawfully present immigrant families, use SNAP to feed their families. Cutting funding for SNAP and other nutrition programs increases hunger and healthcare needs across the U.S. #NotOnMyWatch

Nearly 80 million people, including lawfully present immigrants, count on Medicaid for primary care, prescriptions, hospital visits, and more. Cutting Medicaid puts the health of millions of people at risk. #NotOnMyWatch

1 in 4 children in the United States has at least one immigrant parent. Cutting safety net resources like Medicaid and SNAP means hurting millions of immigrant children and families across the country. #NotOnMyWatch

Resources like Medicaid, SNAP, & more help immigrant families & other hardworking families get food, healthcare, & other support they need. Cuts to safety net resources mean cutting a lifeline for real families. #NotOnMyWatch

Yet Republicans and Elon Musk's DOGE are trying their hardest to gut #SNAP.
The House-passed budget instructs the Agriculture committee to cut spending by $230 billion over 10 years; we all know what they meant is to cut #SNAP.
If those cuts are realizes, the daily limit would be $5.

CHN is participating in @fracposts.bsky.social #SNAPChallenge25: What does $6 a day get you at the store?
For 40 million SNAP participants in 22 million households, $6 per day forced them to make tough choices: between healthy produces, fruits and canned, processed food. #HandsOffSNAP
