🚨 CALL TO ACTION – HALIFAX COUNTY & SOUTH BOSTON 🚨 If the government shutdown and SNAP/EBT benefit stoppage are going to affect your family, go to the Ten Minutes of Truth Podcast Facebook page and tell us what challenges you’re facing and how you’re planning to cope if benefits are delayed or cut off. Your voice matters — we want to hear from you.

🎙️ SPECIAL EPISODE ANNOUNCEMENT Because of the urgency of this situation, Shawn A. Barksdale recorded a real, unfiltered conversation with the mother of his children about the human impact of this potential shutdown. This isn’t our typical studio-quality recording — but the message couldn’t wait. Families are already feeling the pressure, and it’s time we all step up.

🧩 A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS We’re asking for immediate collaboration from Halifax County Police Department, Halifax County Department of Social Services, Local Food Banks and the Feed Halifax Truck, Hitachi, and other community-focused businesses. We need your help sharing accurate information, directing residents to resources, and keeping our community calm, fed, and informed.

This is not politics — this is public safety. Together, we can prevent panic, promote peace, and make sure no family in Halifax County is left behind. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts and 19 other major podcast outlets. #HalifaxCountyStrong #FeedHalifax #TenMinutesOfTruth #SNAPUpdate #EBT #SouthBostonVA #CommunityFirst #PublicSafety #FoodSecurity #EmergencyResponse #ShawnABarksdale
