Join us in the fight against poverty in our community! The Center actively advocates for regulations and legislation to remove the barriers that trap people in the cycle of poverty.
Each session of the Nebraska Legislature, we select just a few pieces of proposed legislation for our advocacy Action Alert Network.
2022 priority bills:
LB121: The SNAP reentry bill
This bill would remove a harmful lifetime ban on SNAP for people with certain drug-related convictions. It will allow children and families to access the food they need to get back on their feet, grow and thrive. Please, support food stability for all. Support LB121!
LB1201: Allocate ARPA money to emergency food providers
Even as COVID-19 infection levels drop, the number of families who depend on food banks and pantries remains high. LB1201 allocates a portion of Nebraska's ARPA funding to the food assistance organizations who keep our community fed. Protect The Good Life and support LB1201!
