Zayn Malik, Sheryl Crow & More Urge Congress to Not Cut SNAP, Medicaid: ‘This Is Unacceptable & Wrong’


Zayn Malik, Sheryl Crow and more urge Congress to not cut SNAP and Medicaid in its budget bill, calling it "unacceptable and wrong" in an open letter.

Zayn Malik, Sheryl Crow, Scarlett Johansson and many other stars are asking Congress for just “One Thing”: Don’t cut funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Medicaid in the federal budget bill, which the Senate is expected to vote on as soon as this week. It’s a fundamental part of the human experience and a basic right we all deserve,” the open letter from Feeding America and endorsed by celebrities notes, adding that millions of Americans rely on SNAP and Medicaid to help make ends meet. In addition to the former One Direction member, “All I Wanna Do” singer and Oscar-nominated actress, stars of stage, screen and music including Alan Cumming, Matt Damon, Michelle Williams, David Arquette, Chrishell Stause, Paul Scheer and Danai Gurira signed the open letter to Congress.
