Because IDOC failed to accommodate our client’s physical disabilities while on MSR, he was unnecessarily and illegally sent back to prison for four months.

NCLEJ is suing the State of Missouri to ensure that vulnerable communities can get access to the food benefits they need to survive.

The USDA could ensure that eligible Americans are receiving the critical food assistance they need, but instead this is another move by the Trump administration to dismantle our social safety net and restrict the benefits millions need to survive.

NCLEJ is the national leader in SNAP delay litigation. We’re fighting to compel state agencies to fix their broken management of SNAP so that low-income people can get access to the food benefits they need to survive and are entitled to receive.

If you were mad that people lost their SNAP benefits during the shutdown, you should continue to be engaged as much work remains to fix what’s broken.

Even when the government shutdown ends, much work remains to fix America’s broken food benefits landscape. NCLEJ is the national leader in SNAP litigation, and we are continuing our fight to expand access to the food benefits low-income people need to survive and thrive.

If you’ve been upset that people have been denied SNAP benefits during the government shutdown, you should continue to be upset because state agencies have illegally denied benefits to low-income people for years.

When the shutdown ends and funding gets back to normal, much work remains to dismantle illegal barriers to access. Our lawsuit will ensure that low-income Missourians get access to the food benefits they need and are legally entitled to receive.

In this critical moment, we are doubling down on our mission to advance racial justice on behalf of the communities who need it most.
