Emergency! Trump Could Take Away Food Stamps and School Lunch From Documented Immigrant Kids
Please oppose Donald Trump’s draft executive order, which will cut off essential benefits like food stamps and free and reduced lunch from documented immigrant children.
Why is this important?
When my parents fled from communist Cuba to the US in the 90s, they depended on food stamps to feed my brother and me. I can’t imagine them having to decide between putting food on the table and staying in this country. It’s an impossible choice no parent should have to make.
Donald Trump’s recently leaked draft executive order would cut off documented immigrant kids from essential benefits like food stamps and free and reduced lunch. In addition, it threatens families relying on these benefits with deportation.
No child should go hungry based on where they or their parents are from. This executive order, targeting immigrants who entered the country legally, is racist, xenophobic and immoral. Trump’s characterization of immigrants as a drain on the country’s resources is categorically false.
As parents, we must stand together to protect all kids from these attacks. The good news is that this executive order is still a draft. If millions of us speak out we can prevent it from ever becoming a reality. Please sign and share this petition today!
