May 29, 7 PM SNAP/WIC & the Budget: What to Know in Order to Act

The Well at Queen Anne UMC is hosting a forum on nutrition support programs that are under threat by the Trump administration. UW master student Miki Suarez-Thai will offer information and time to discuss how proposed changes will affect the most vulnerable in our society. As people of faith - as neighbors - we hope to organize to pressure our government to do its duty in caring for those who need, and we intend to organize to stand with our neighbors most affected by the various actions already underway. 

This talk will provide an overview of SNAP and WIC, two of the nation's largest nutrition assistance programs, and how they have been affected by the current administration. This will cover current policy and proposed policy/budget changes to SNAP and WIC and how that affects us in Seattle. 

 Miki Suarez-Thai (they/them) is a second year Master in Public Health student at the University of Washington. They're interested in culturally relevant nutrition and working with immigrant and LGBTQ+ populations.
