Today, AK Gov. Dunleavy declared a state of emergency due to lack of federal SNAP funding. $5 million weekly will be paid directly to SNAP beneficiaries. Up to $10 million will be donated to food pantries to ensure Alaskans do not go hungry. Thank you, Gov Dunleavy.

On Nov. 1, federal SNAP funding stopped. This leaves 70,000 Alaskans (many of them children) facing hunger.
1. Tell governor to find a way to feed as many as possible.
2. Let your legislator know that you support a special session.
3. Make a donation to the Food Bank of Alaska #akleg #akgov

The SNAP debacle that is about to happen on Saturday is completely unnecessary:
1. There is a federal contingency fund for
SNAP that could be used.
2. With a simple rule change, the Senate could reopen the government with 51 votes
- there are 53 Republican Senators.

I wish there were an easy way for AK to backfill the $28 million in federal SNAP funding being denied to the state by the Trump administration, but there is no way for us to put $$ on federal EBT cards. We are still exploring every conceivable option. Donate to FoodBankofAlaska.org #akleg #Alaska
