This summer, a new federal program will ensure that millions of low-income kids won't go hungry when school is not in session. The Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (S-EBT) was passed with bipartisan support in a very polarized Congress. It provides a benefit card worth $120 per summer for every child eligible for free or reduced school lunches. This can make the difference between food security and a hungry summer. 

Katherine Maddox is a writer based in Atlanta, Georgia, who probably has too many animals for one person, and could not be more delighted with them all. She previously worked with AFSC to create a political education series on the Stop Cop City movement, and is now focusing her efforts on water affordability. Lately, she's been reminding herself that while we don't get to choose the time in which we live, we do get to choose how we live in it. She hopes one day to walk along the shores of a free Palestine.
