(Breitbart)—Dozens of Hollywood celebrities on Wednesday decried “unacceptable” Republican efforts to cut Medicaid and food stamps.
“Ongoing high grocery costs mean food is out of reach for so many families, and many of our neighbors simply do not have enough to eat,” the open letter to members of Congress stated.
“We call on Congress to reject cuts to these vital programs that help millions put food on their tables and provide access to health care,” the letter added.
The nonprofit Feeding America led a letter of prominent celebrities such as Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Michelle Williams, Rosario Dawson, and others urged Republicans to reject reforms to Medicaid and the food stamp program, more formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
“This is unacceptable and wrong. It is not how people in this country treat each other when facing hard times. We call on Congress to reject cuts to these vital programs that help millions put food on their tables and provide access to health care,” the letter continued.
