Massachusetts anti-hunger advocate fasts to protest Trump food stamp cuts
Anti-hunger advocate Liz Wills-O'Gilvie, 63, said she has not eaten for 15 days to push Governor Maura Healey to raise funding for Massachusetts' food stamp program. "I know what hunger looks and feels like," she said. Many people lost benefits after President Donald Trump made changes to the program.
