As Lawrence mentioned in tonight's Rewrite, tomorrow the Senate Appropriations Committee will be voting on an Agriculture Appropriations Bill that passed in the House back in June. The version that cleared the House (which you can read in its entirety here) included deep cuts to emergency food assistance. Cuts that United Nations officials say will cost lives. If you want to contact the member of the Senate Appropriations Committee from your state to make your voice heard ahead of their vote tomorrow, please use the information below.
