Cory Booker, the Newark, New Jersey mayor, is always findings ways to make an impact.\u00a0 We previously reported<\/a> on how he rescued a neighbor from a burning fire.\u00a0 Now he’s standing up for families living on food stamps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Booker plans to live on food stamps for at least a week starting Tuesday, December 4th.\u00a0 According the the Department of Agriculture, his budget will equate to roughly $4.44 a day for food.<\/p>\n

This all began from a Twitter conversation Booker (@CoryBooker) had with @MWadeNC.\u00a0 The individual, @MWadeNC was saying that the government shouldn’t help low income students with school lunches because they are already receiving food stamps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Booker thought otherwise and decided to take up the #SNAPChallenge as he calls it after the official food stamp name – Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.\u00a0 On Twitter, many others are standing by the mayor and taking up the challenge as well.<\/p>\n

Cory Booker continues to be a hero and role model.\u00a0 Thanks for raising awareness.\u00a0 We know that good things will come of it!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Peace & Love,<\/p>\n
