There's a song in my head.

Cross-posted. Apparently some sports fans know this; I just accidentally discovered wearing latex gloves lets you clap REALLY loud. There must be an application for this in the resistance. And if not, it's super fun to clap & dance along with your favorite songs, & that too is an act of resistance.

Millions of people live without those options daily. Tell your elected officials how you feel about food insecurity in one of the wealthiest nations in the world. #HandsOffSNAP #SNAPChallenge25 #FRAC

We were a little hungry on Wed and Thu, though we paced ourselves and ended up with leftovers. I had to confront some privileges - such as my assumptions that snacks are always available, that dessert is daily, that coffee with sugar/cream is a "necessity" - over 3 days with none of the above.

Andy and I participated in #SNAPChallenge25. From Tue-Thu we ate only what we'd purchased for $36, to raise our and others' awareness of the realities of trying to feed oneself and one's family on the avg. $6/person/day SNAP benefit. More in comments. #HandsOffSNAP #FRAC

FRAC’s SNAP Challenge WHO: You! WHAT: Spend the average SNAP benefit of $6 per person per day for groceries WHEN: March 18 – 20 WHERE: Spread the word on social, in your community, and with policy makers WHY: Some in Congress are proposing cuts to SNAP. This would deepen America’s hunger crisis.

Could you eat on $6/day? Can I? Andy & I are taking #SNAPchallenge25 hosted by FRAC. Over 40 million Americans, including friends of mine, rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is under threat. #HandsOffSNAP See comments for how to participate

This did come later than I'd expected, but it's come: "Trump orders gutting of 7 agencies, including Voice of America’s parent." Among the agencies targeted is IMLS (The Institute of Museum and Library Services, which funds and supports museums, libraries and archives).

Thanks for reposting. We bundled up & went. It was lively, encouraging. About 750 folks showed up in the cold.
