Election Day & Empty Plates: SNAP, COVID Lessons and Culture Collide
"Welcome to Kali Kat Tap Talks, where policy meets people. I'm your host Kali, and today we're diving into a powerful intersection of politics, poverty, and public health. It's Election Day and while ballots are cast, millions of Americans face empty plates. What can we learn from the COVID-era expansion of SNAP and how does culture shape our response to hunger?"

🦠Segment 2: COVID’s Wake-Up Call
- What changed during COVID: emergency allotments, expanded eligibility, online access
- Data on how these changes impacted food insecurity
- Why some of these changes were rolled back — and what that means now
🧠Segment 3: Culture, Stigma, and the American Narrative

🎤 Outro
"As we mark another Election Day, let’s remember: democracy isn’t just about votes — it’s about values. And when it comes to hunger, the question isn’t just who we elect, but what kind of society we choose to build. Thanks for listening."
