The Center for Economic and Policy Research promotes democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that affect people's lives.
3/3: Disabled adults already face structural barriers, isolation, and a lack of social support. Cutting SNAP will put both their nutrition and independence at risk. No policy should make it harder for people to keep food on the table.

2/3: When Republicans propose SNAP cuts, they rarely mention the disabled. Yet, disabled adults rely on SNAP at more than double the rate of others (20.4% vs 8.3%). Erasing them isn’t just negligent—it endangers their access to food.

2/2: While a candidate, Paz rejected the IMF but now may strike a deal with the Fund by March. He declared that austerity is his “priority,” and has announced public sector cuts and structural reforms to “restore investor confidence.”

3/3: This isn't just undemocratic—it's dangerous. Noboa has attacked judicial independence, violently repressed protests (3 killed, 206 arrested), and is timing cash handouts to sway voters. Ecuador's future hangs in the balance. The world needs to be watching.

2/3: The referendum asks voters to rewrite the constitution, allow US military bases, cut the legislature, and end political party funding. But here's the problem: Noboa is using the power of the presidency to tilt the election in his favor.

4/4: Nearly 12% of employed disabled adults need SNAP vs 6% without disabilities. Even work doesn't close the gap. Using food as political leverage to push work requirements? That's cruelty disguised as policy.

3/4: Disabled adults rely on SNAP at more than double the rate of others (20.4% vs 8.3%). Restricting benefits during a shutdown isn't governing—it's weaponizing hunger against vulnerable people.

2/4: Disabled people make up 25% of SNAP recipients but only 13% of the population. Cutting SNAP isn't about fiscal responsibility—it's about denying disabled people access to basic necessities.
