You Are Not Better…Just Luckier

you are not better than someone on welfare. * Digital illustration of a Black mother and her son at a food bank. There is a text on the back of her dress that reads “you are not ‘better’ than someone on welfare — just luckier.”
People are losing their SNAP benefits, and too many are responding with silence or judgment. Food insecurity isn’t a character flaw; it’s a crisis of circumstance. One layoff, one medical bill, one unexpected setback can change everything, and when it does, survival shouldn’t depend on shame.

SNAP and WIC were never about handouts. They were created to keep families fed and children healthy when life falls apart. That’s humanity, not charity.

You are not better than someone on welfare - just luckier.

Leaders and policymakers should remember: dignity isn’t a privilege. It’s a responsibility. #SNAPBenefits
