With SNAP Ending November 1, No Kings Calls for Mass Mutual Aid in Communities Across the Country

42 million Americans set to lose SNAP benefits and go without food on November 1; 25 states suing USDA for withholding food aid funding

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to the Trump Administration’s refusal to continue providing food assistance to over 42 million Americans in need via SNAP, including approximately 16 million children and 8 million seniors, the No Kings Alliance is calling on everyone to support mutual aid funds and local food banks in their communities.

There are three ways to take action:

• Donate to your local food bank. Support your local food bank or mutual aid network with a financial gift to help feed families directly impacted by the shutdown.
• Collect and distribute to your local community shelter. Donate food, clothing, menstrual products, and any other essential supplies to existing local food banks or shelters. Check with your local organizations first to see what they need most.
• Host a give-back drive in your community. Visit NoKings.org to learn more and start a food/supply drive.

Every few weeks, the No Kings Alliance will announce new opportunities for direct action in support of each other and to push back against President Trump’s authoritarian power grabs. Visit NoKings.org/alliance to learn more.

The No Kings Alliance is the new rapid response arm of the No Kings movement. The No Kings Alliance is grounded in a commitment to nonviolent action and collective resistance to authoritarianism.
