Today, Unrig the Economy and Americans for Tax Fairness released a new analysis (in English<\/u><\/a> and Spanish<\/u><\/a>) showing that cuts to SNAP enacted under Trump and Congressional Republicans\u2019 tax law have disproportionately affected Latinos. Since the law passed, more than 1.5 million Latinos nationwide are estimated to have lost food assistance that helped keep food on the table. Across just seven states, roughly half of all Latinos who have lost SNAP benefits nationwide have lost access to the program since July 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Republican Tax Law took food assistance away from more than 1.5 million Latinos to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations,\u201d said Leor Tal, Campaign Director for Unrig Our Economy<\/strong>. \u201cFamilies are already struggling with the high cost of groceries and gas thanks to the war in Iran and tariffs. SNAP cuts make it even harder for Latino families \u2013 who are disproportionately impacted \u2013 to put food on the table.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe results are in: Trump and his GOP allies in Congress cut critical nutrition assistance that helps millions of Latinos and working people across the country meet their basic needs\u2014all to deliver historic tax giveaways to billionaires and business elites,\u201d said Jodie Rubenstein, Executive Director of Americans for Tax Fairness<\/strong>. \u201cAs is so often the case, working families and communities of color bear the brunt of Trump\u2019s economic policies. We cannot allow billionaire wealth to grow unchecked while communities go hungry.\u201d <\/p>\n
