USDA Cuts $1 Billion in Local Food Funding: Schools, Farmers, and Food Banks Brace for Impact

The #USDA has terminated two programs, #LocalFood for #Schools and #LocalFood#Purchase #Assistance, resulting in a $1 billion cut to local food purchases for schools and #Food Banks. This decision, made under the #Trump administration, has faced opposition from various #stakeholders, including #students, #parents, #teachers, #farmers, and #Democratic leaders, who argue it will negatively impact #ChildNutrition and #LocalEconomies. Advocates urge contacting elected officials and supporting alternative funding for local #FoodInitiatives.

Chuck Schumer has chosen comfort over responsibility. We need to replace several #Democratic politicians who have been overly influenced by the luxuries of their insular lifestyle. We need unflinching leaders. #NoOnCloture

The time has come for Chuck #Schumer to go. His lack of resolve is going to enable Elon the #oligarch and the president that he purchased complete their takeover of the federal government. We need to let every #Democratic senator know that they should vote against this #Republican bill that cedes the powers of Congress to the executive branch.

Well! The last two #MeidasTouch videos I saw interviewed THREE of our #Democratic leaders. Did they FINALLY get the memo that because the #LegacyMedia has betrayed us if they want to get their message out they have to come to #YT and #BlueSky?????
