Let Them Eat . . . Paper Towels?

Can any of us forget the image of President Trump tossing paper towels at Hurricane Maria 
victims in Puerto Rico?



Trump has continued to be critical of Puerto Rico and its leadership.
The president is blocking food aid to Puerto Rico where nearly 43% of the population 
relies on food stamps. 

Let's support our hungry neighbors in Puerto Rico. 

Donate: To the Food Bank of Puerto Rico (Banco de Alimentos de Puerto Rico) 

Call: Senator Duckworth 312-886-3506 and Senator Durbin 312-353-4952
Script: Hi, I’m calling from [ZIP] to support relief for Puerto Rico.
 Our fellow Americans are starving due to the president’s biases and Congressional inaction. 
I’m asking [name] to show mercy toward our fellow citizens, support immediate passage 
of S. 572 to address the situation, and ensure Puerto Rico receives all promised
 financial support.
