Massachusetts Woman Protests Food Stamp Cuts with Hunger Strike

Liz Wills-O'Gilvie, an anti-hunger advocate from Massachusetts, has been on a hunger strike for 15 days to protest cuts to the food stamp program implemented under the Trump administration. She aims to persuade state officials, including Governor Maura Healey, to raise funding for the diminishing program.

Due to her fasting, Wills-O'Gilvie has reported being unable to drive and has conducted meetings with state lawmakers from her home. Her actions highlight concerns about the impact of federal policy changes on local food assistance programs.
