No one should be denied basic needs like food. Yet for decades, Congress has banned people with felony drug convictions from accessing #SNAP or food stamps. The RESTORE Act is a new bill that would finally end this cruel ban. Tell Congress to support it today!

Stopping people from getting SNAP just because they have a past drug conviction is not just cruel, it's bad policy. We know hunger & poverty increase risk of recidivism. SNAP helps formerly incarcerated folks reenter their communities successfully. booker.senate.gov/news/press/boo…

Everyone should be able to access basic needs, especially food, regardless of felony drug convictions. The RESTORE Act was introduced to lift the #SNAP Felony Drug Ban. Tell your member of Congress to take action. #PassRestoreAct engage.drugpolicy.org/secure/repeal-…

Access to food should never be used as a form of punishment. Tell Congress to repeal the cruel drug-felony ban on #SNAP benefits and pass the RESTORE Act. All who are hungry should be fed. p2a.co/HmNfl8H

Access to food is a basic need, and it's time to end the cruel ban on #SNAP for people with felony drug convictions. Support the #RESTOREAct to ensure fairness and dignity for all. Let's urge Congress to take action now! #PassRestoreAct #EndFoodInjustice

The SNAP Drug Felony Ban unjustly limits food assistance for individuals with drug-related felony convictions. It's time for Congress to step up and address this harmful policy. Support the #RESTOREAct for fair and inclusive access to nutrition. fal.cn/3ypup

Reentering society requires support, not restrictions on food assistance. Let's stand against barriers that hinder reentry. Support the RESTORE Act to remove the SNAP Drug Felony Ban and empower individuals to rebuild their lives. #PassRESTOREAct fal.cn/3yq3s

Bipartisan support for the #RESTOREAct is a step towards fairness and reentry success. Join the movement to repeal the #SNAP Drug Felony Ban and provide timely access to food assistance for individuals transitioning back into society. #PassRESTOREAct fal.cn/3yqLW

Many who re-enter society after serving time for drug convictions face unnecessary challenges—like lifetime bans on #SNAP. We should assist these Americans in re-starting their lives, and the #RESTOREAct would help. Proud to be joined by Sen. Cory Booker & Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock on this bill.

We may look different, but the fight to end the drug war hasn’t changed! We are building a future where drug policy is grounded in evidence, health, equity, and human rights. Period. (Video is narrated by our Executive Director @Kassandra_Fred) drugpolicy.org

In Oregon & across the U.S., people have real concerns about addiction, homelessness, & public disorder. We all want healthy communities where everyone has a good quality of life & access to the services they need. But we can’t solve public health problems w/ punitive policies.
