Content: Join us for the Save Our SNAP Block Party: a day of community, creativity, and collective action grounded in the moral declaration that no neighbor should go hungry. As SNAP cuts take effect this May, over 150,000 Illinois residents are at risk of losing access to food. In partnership with the Save Our SNAP Coalition and Cedars, the Food for Every Neighbor campaign is bringing together artists, community organizations, and leaders to make sure people aren’t left to navigate this alone. The event will feature live performances by Nico Segal, Shawnee Dez, Heavy Crownz, Zion Ali, DJ Cash Era, DJ Archibald Wilkins, and more — along with creative workshops led by the Muslim Writers Collective and fresh meals provided by Cedars. Throughout the day, guests can get support to protect your SNAP benefits, understand what’s changing and how to stay covered, and connect with real opportunities to take action — whether that’s plugging into organizing efforts, supporting advocacy work, or stepping into a role that helps move this campaign forward.
