Our upcoming Working Group Call will focus on strategic communications opportunities.

The State Innovation Exchange (SiX) Food, Agriculture, and Rural Economies team will also share what they are hearing from state legislators advocating for SNAP, and how funders can support state policymakers’ efforts to protect the program.
