Sample Script:

My name is [NAME]. I live in [TOWN]. I am calling to urge the Senator to help fill in the gaps left by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act with food access and SNAP cuts during the next legislative session. 40,000 Nebraskans, half of them kids, have lost SNAP since the bill passed. 

Our state needs to: (Choose or add your own points) 

• Put an end to Nebraska’s new excessive verification requirements for all SNAP applicants since they’re leading to a huge number of otherwise-eligible people losing their SNAP.
  
  
• Support the 40,000 Nebraskans who have lost SNAP since H.R.1 passed who still need food. Over half of these SNAP losses are kids aged 0-18.
  
  
• Support immigrant community members like refugees, asylees, and victims of trafficking - people who came to the US to escape war, violence, and hardship who are now ineligible for benefits.
  
  
• Support veterans, people who are homeless, and former foster youth who now have to do burdensome work requirements to maintain SNAP.
  
  
• Make up for the $7 million a month we’re losing in SNAP benefits that were going to support local grocers, farmers and economically benefit our communities.
  
  
• Support kids at schools who are losing automatic eligibility for free meals through SNAP and their schools who may have to end universal free meals programs.
  
  
• Other - Add your own!

Thank you for your time and please let the Senator [my Senator] know that we need to support SNAP and policies that feed hungry Nebraskans.
