MEDIA ADVISORY
Protest Against the Cuts to SNAP and to
End the Social War on Poor People!
Dare to Struggle and Homeless Liberation Initiative will be having a protest against the recent cuts to SNAP including the new work requirements and restrictions to immigrants that is estimated to affect 36,000 Connecticut residents.
WHAT: Speakout and protest on the street. There will be speeches, stories of how the loss of SNAP affects people directly, and people publicly condemning these cuts.
WHEN: Monday, December 22nd, 9:30 AM EST
WHERE: Department of Social Services - Central Office, 55 Farmington Ave, Hartford, CT 06105
WHO: Featured speakers will include members of Dare to Struggle, leaders of Homeless Liberation Initiative, and people directly affected by the cuts to SNAP.
WHY: Between now and March 31st, an estimated 36,000 people in Connecticut will likely lose SNAP benefits due to new federal legislation. Unrealistic work requirements are being imposed on new groups who often cannot work. This includes homeless people and veterans, seniors, and parents. The federal legislation also entirely cuts off access to SNAP for immigrants with documentation including refugees, asylum-seekers, and victims of human trafficking or domestic violence. They’ll remain permanently ineligible even after obtaining green cards.
This is latest continuation of the government’s war on poor people. The situation continues to become increasingly dire for poor people and these attacks go unchallenged beyond empty words by nonprofits and politicians alike. We must come together by taking bold collective action to not only protect SNAP and other social services, but to demand their expansion so that people's needs are actually met!

We don’t use insular activist lingo. We don’t chase social media fame. We don’t seek careers or corporate sponsorship through activism. We’re committed to standing with the people subjected to the horrors of the American nightmare. We go to the neighborhoods facing police brutality, ICE raids, poverty, and evictions, talk to people about the problems they face, and organize people in collective struggle. We know that radical change only happens when people step outside of routine protest or expecting politicians to do it for us and take bold, collective action.
Homeless Liberation Initiative is a mass organization initiated by Dare to Struggle, led by formerly and currently homeless people, fighting against the ways the homeless are attacked in and around New Britain.
