SUMMARY:Health is a Human Right: Preserving Access to Health: Voices on Food Security and Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Recent legislation—particularly HR1\, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—has significantly affected food equity across the United States. HR1 introduced deep cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)\, tightened eligibility requirements\, and increased administrative costs for states\, making it harder for millions of families—especially in vulnerable and rural communities—to access affordable\, nutritious food. These changes are expected to increase hunger and deepen disparities\, especially among older adults\, people with disabilities\, children\, and working families. \nBy contrast\, previous initiatives like the Build Back Better Act aimed to strengthen food and health equity by expanding nutrition programs and investing in community health\, but these protections and expansions have been overshadowed by the rollback in HR1. The current policy environment highlights the urgent need for communities to come together\, share stories\, and advocate for restorative\, equitable solutions so that access to food and healthcare remains a right\, not a privilege. \nThis meeting will bring together leaders\, advocates\, and community voices to discuss the impacts\, explore solutions\, and inspire collective action to advance food and health equity for all. \nRSVP:  https://bit.ly/HumanRight2
