Rep. Aguilar Highlights Impact of Republican Food Assistance Cuts in the Big Ugly Bill on California

Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-33) held a press conference at the Family Service Association of Redlands to highlight the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s and Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. This legislation made the largest funding cut to food assistance programs in U.S. history and took away SNAP from more than 4 million Americans to give billionaires and corporations a tax cut. In California, more than 300,000 people lost their CalFresh food assistance, forcing families to go hungry or rely on no-cost community food assistance organizations like the Family Service Association to get by.
