#171: Protecting Food Access: A Policy Update with LaMonika Jones
In this episode, we’re joined once again by LaMonika Jones, Director of State Initiatives at the Food Research & Action Center, for a food policy update. LaMonika breaks down key threats to SNAP at the federal level, offers insight into where we are in D.C.’s local budget process, and unpacks the broader impacts these decisions have on families.
Together, we explore what’s at stake and how community members can take action.
