Diversity Dialogues: SNAP, Medicaid & the New War on Poverty
Wednesday, October 22, 2025, 1:30 – 3pm, Center for Inclusive Excellence
Join us for a crucial discussion on the recent changes to SNAP and Medicaid under the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." The bill cuts over $1 trillion from Medicaid and $186 billion from SNAP, while introducing work requirements and shifting costs to states. We’ll explore the impact of these changes on low-income families, people with disabilities, and marginalized communities, and discuss what a more equitable public assistance system could look like.
