The following day, May 6, 2025, she participated in the #HandsOffSNAP rally alongside notable figures such as Senator Amy Klobuchar and Representatives Jahana Hayes, Alma Adams, and Jill Tokuda. She expressed her opposition to proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), stating "Republican cuts to SNAP mean fewer people fed, smaller benefits, or both. This isn’t about responsibility. It’s about cruelty."
Later that same day, Brown commented on economic issues stemming from previous administration policies. She warned of impending economic challenges due to trade policies by stating "Higher prices and shortages are headed your way, thanks to Trump's trade war and mindless blanket tariffs."
