WASHINGTON, DC – Thursday, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01), Vice Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and members of the CBC protested removing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from the Farm Bill during rule debate on the House Floor.
CBC Members, Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer and Members of the Democratic Caucus stood together in opposition to separating nutrition programs and farm subsidies from the Farm Bill as an effort to pass legislation without regard to the impact it will have on feeding millions of children, seniors and families in need across America.
