One of my besties from Louisiana, where I used to live, just shared this story with me. We ALL need this story today.
LSU's QB, #JoeBurrow, won the #HeismanTrophy. During his speech, he talked about how where he's from, Athens County, is the poorest part of the state.

Athens Co has double the national poverty rate. Kids go home from school hungry and there's nothing to eat.
Since Burrows' speech LSU fans and others have donated $500k to the Athens County food bank--and now it's spreading to food banks in Baton Rouge.

So while Trump is literally taking food away from poor people by cutting #SNAP, a college kid is raising awareness and getting help for kids with nothing to eat. In the #DemDebate @amyklobuchar said we need to remember our Dem values are morality and decency. This is that.
