Oakland<\/span><\/span><\/em> \u2013<\/span><\/span>Anti-hunger advocates warn that today\u2019s passing of the GOP tax plan foreshadows sweeping cuts to critical nutrition safety-net programs. The widely unpopular plan is tilted to the wealthy and slashes trillions of dollars over ten years from programs that serve people with low and moderate incomes, including cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, income assistance for working-poor and other struggling families, nutrition assistance programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as food stamps), college affordability, job training and education, environmental protections, and public health initiatives.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The vote occurs as millions of working families across the country are spending the holiday season worried about making ends meet. The plan offers little promise of improvement in the quality of life for the majority of Californians with the bulk of tax cuts going to the wealthiest one percent. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe fight to end hunger in California doesn\u2019t end with Congress passing this misguided tax plan,\u201d said Sue Sigler, Executive Director of California Association of Food Banks. \u201cIn fact, we are more determined than ever to speak out for the low and middle-income families that rely on food banks and safety-net programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

California tiene el porcentaje m\u00e1s alto de personas que viven por debajo de la l\u00ednea de pobreza en el pa\u00eds cuando se toma en consideraci\u00f3n el costo de la vivienda. Uno de cada ocho hogares se enfrenta al hambre. El hambre afecta de manera desproporcionada a los ni\u00f1os y las personas mayores. Uno de cada cuatro ni\u00f1os de California puede irse a la cama con hambre cada noche.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program remains one of America\u2019s most successful ways to keep people from going without food and we remain committed to speaking out on behalf of the millions of working people that rely on it,\u201d said Sigler.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

CAFB tiene acceso a portavoces de los bancos de alimentos locales y clientes afectados por estos recortes que pueden hablar sobre este tema.<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
