SNAP costs about $6 a day per person and is the most effective anti-hunger program this country has ever built. Congress keeps coming back to cut it anyway — not because the math stops working, but because hungry people are an easy line item. Cutting SNAP does not make hunger cheaper; it moves the cost onto school nurses, emergency rooms, and food banks that are already out of shelf space, and it lands hardest on kids. About 21 million children eat free or reduced-price lunch during the school year, then lose those meals every June. Resistbot is asking 2026 candidates to protect SNAP benefit levels and fully fund Summer EBT, and to stop treating a child's next meal as a place to find savings.
