Healey aide on hunger strike
Liz O’Gilvie, a member of Massachusetts’ Anti-Hunger Task Force, has gone five days without eating to protest underfunding of the state’s food assistance programs. She advocates for increased staffing and funding at the Department of Transitional Assistance to address rising caseloads and federal policy changes that have led to thousands of food benefit losses, particularly affecting children. Despite efforts by the state to expand outreach and hire more workers, advocates say current funding and staffing levels remain insufficient, contributing to significant food insecurity across the community.
