     RECOGNIZING MAZON'S ``NO ONE DESERVES TO GO HUNGRY'' CAMPAIGN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ANGIE CRAIG

                       Wednesday, March 25, 2026

  Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, the list of the Trump administration's 
reckless attacks on SNAP, our country's largest and most efficient 
anti-hunger program, is miles long:
  Taking food assistance away from 4 million Americans, illegally 
demanding SNAP participants' personal data, spreading misinformation 
about SNAP and fraud, failing to uphold their duties to states and 
program beneficiaries, eliminating 30 percent of USDA staff, 
haphazardly eliminating and relocating many regional offices and more.
  Today, in response to these attacks, MAZON delivered more than 47,000 
postcards to USDA. These postcards flooding USDA send a clear message: 
that no one deserves to go hungry and SNAP must be protected, not cut.
  The more than 47,000 handwritten postcards MAZON delivered today also 
represent the more than 47 million Americans that are facing financial 
instability and aren't sure where their next meal will come from.
  They are an expression of concern and outrage over the state of 
hunger in America and the need to take positive action to address it--
not exacerbate it, as Republicans in Congress and the White House have 
chosen to do over the past year.
  These postcards were sent from people's homes, synagogues, schools, 
community organizations, and nonprofits; some even hosted postcard 
writing parties where they invited their loved ones to take part in 
communal action with them.
  It is an important reminder of what can happen when we refuse to lose 
hope. A reminder that we should continue challenging politicians who 
say that America can't afford to feed its people.
  My hope is that these postcards refocus this administration on the 
things that matter. I hope that they remind the Secretary of her duty 
to carry out SNAP in good faith and as it was intended: to provide for 
the basic nutritional needs of the American people; to provide a hand 
up at a time when so many need help affording groceries, rent, 
utilities and childcare.
