While Congress is fighting over corporate tax breaks, families are about to lose the very benefits that keep food on the table and the health care access that keeps the healthy. If the government doesn’t reopen soon, millions of people won’t get SNAP in November.


The Trump Administration has the authority to legally provide SNAP benefits during the shutdown -- to not do so is just a choice at the expense of millions of families. brnw.ch/21wX2DQ

Why are workers being punished for government failures? Loss of work authorization could mean American families having to go without heat or groceries right as the holiday season begins.

NEW: The Trump admin just ended the practice of automatically extending work permits when people file to renew them — meaning that if @USCIS takes too long to process a renewal the applicant loses their authorization to work legally. Applies to applications filed after tomorrow.

Thank you @CAgovernor for signing AB 1261 and helping to #ProtectFamilies!

@CAgovernor signed AB 1261 by Asm. Bonta into law!!! This new law expands access to lawyers for immigrant children and youth facing deportation. No one — especially children — should face deportation in court without a lawyer defending their rights in California.

1/ Head Start delivers critical services for families with low incomes across the country, but the government shutdown threatens to close programs that serve 65,152 children nationwide if it extends past November 1st. #HeadStartAwarenessMonth clasp.org/press-room/pre…

Today marks day 14 of the ongoing government shutdown, with no clear end in sight. With each day that goes by, children and families' unmet needs mount. clasp.org/press-room/pre…

The federal government has officially shut down after Congress failed to pass a budget. This isn’t just political theater—it’s a direct threat to children, families, and workers nationwide.
