Trump is fighting SNAP. We’re fighting hunger.
All new Substack & Membership sign ups fund meals through Thanksgiving
This week, many of us will sit down to big Thanksgiving meals with family and friends. At the very same time, millions of people in the United States are wondering how they will put any food on the table at all.
Food insecurity is not an abstract idea. It is parents skipping meals so their kids can eat. It is seniors stretching canned food for days because they do not know when they’ll get more. And this November, the situation got even worse. The Trump administration has been trying to avoid paying November’s SNAP benefits, which has pushed food insecure households into even more urgent need.
I am incredibly grateful that this audience has continued to grow over the years, that you watch, listen, and support the show. But I also know that with an audience this size, we can do more than just talk about problems. We can actually help feed people.
That is what our November Feeding America Drive is about.
How It works
All month long, for every new paid sign up we receive, we donate the entire first payment to Feeding America.
That includes:
New website memberships
New paid Substack subscriptions
Monthly or yearly, we take your first payment, minus the platform processing fees, and send it straight to Feeding America.
Why Feeding America?
98% of donations go to feeding people, not overhead.
Every $1 donated = 10 meals
Your monthly membership ≈ 60 meals
Your annual membership = hundreds of meals

I am incredibly grateful to California for continuing SNAP benefits for my disabled son that relies entirely on SNAP for his food.
Thank you for doing this, David and team!
