When Hunger Is Political: Trump’s Attack on SNAP Is an Attack on Us
Tonight, while families were figuring out how to stretch groceries through the weekend, the Trump administration was busy trying to snatch food off our tables. Again.
After a federal judge ruled that the government must issue full November SNAP benefits—because yes, people are hungry and the shutdown is still hurting.. Trump’s team filed an emergency appeal to overturn the decision. Let’s be real: this isn’t about budgets. It’s about control. It’s about cruelty, and it’s about punishing the people who’ve always carried this country on our backs.
We’re talking about Black people. Black women. About single mothers. About grandmothers raising grandbabies. About students, caretakers, and essential workers who are expected to survive on scraps while billionaires get tax breaks and bailouts. About anyone who does not fit into the mold of white supremacy.
This isn’t just policy. It’s violence.
What Trump’s SNAP Attack Really Means
It means millions of families, disproportionately Black and brown, could go without food this month.
It means Black women, who are more likely to be heads of household and caregivers, are once again being told our survival is optional.
It means the government is willing to let children go hungry to prove a political point.
What The Good Girl Movement Is Doing
We’re not just mad, we’re mobilizing. We’ve updated our SNAP Benefits Resource List with:
Emergency food access programs
Black-owned grocers and co-ops
Advocacy contacts to demand accountability
What We’re Calling In
We’re not just reacting. We’re reclaiming—and we’re showing up.
We demand care that doesn’t come with conditions. Our communities deserve full benefits, full dignity, and full protection—no exceptions.
We build our own safety nets. From our SNAP Benefits Resource List to our Civic Circles, we’re creating what the government refuses to provide.
We center Black women’s survival as non-negotiable. Not just in policy, but in practice. In every room, every budget, every decision.
We move with urgency and intention. This isn’t charity. It’s strategy. It’s legacy. It’s love.
And tomorrow, we’re serving our people. The Good Girl Movement will be distributing groceries to families in DC, because when Trump tries to starve us, we feed each other. We show up. We pour back. We protect what’s ours.
