There’s a very important piece of legislation on the line that could truly help formerly incarcerated individuals across the United States have equal access to food security. 20% of formerly incarcerated people report suffering from food insecurity - double that of the general population– with even higher rates among formerly incarcerated women and Black individuals. The RESTORE Act of 2023 (H.R.3479 and S.1753) which would remove the national lifetime ban from SNAP for individuals with felony drug convictions.
