In honor of #VeteransDay tomorrow, admission to all national parks will be FREE.

In fact, many national parks have battlefields, military parks & historic sites to honor the service of American veterans.

Visit nps.gov to see how your favorite park is impacted by the federal government shutdown.

Be #SmokeReady.
Prescribed fire is one of California’s most effective tools to prevent large, destructive wildfires. These planned burns are carefully managed to reduce smoke impacts and improve forest health—but any smoke can affect air quality.

#CalFresh cards are being loaded as of THIS MORNING! 🍓 Yesterday, a judge ruled the federal administration must IMMEDIATELY restore full #SNAP benefits to families. The administration is appealing the decision yet again! 😡 But California has your back, & we’ll keep fighting for you. 💪🏽

Federal court rulings have directed the federal government to, at minimum, partially fund CalFresh benefits.

CDSS is waiting for information from the USDA regarding the amount of benefits and when they will be available. CDSS will post updates here: bit.ly/3WA3Na9

Men and women across the world forgo the razor for #NoShaveNovember to raise awareness about colorectal cancer. Also known as bowel cancer, this is the third most common type of cancer. Talk to your doctor today to see if you are eligible for a screening.

No one in California should go hungry because of political games in Washington. That’s why I stand with Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta as California takes action against the USDA for unlawfully suspending SNAP benefits during the federal government shutdown.

As the ongoing federal government shutdown disrupts critical food benefits, food banks across the state are available to assist Californians in need.

Last week, Governor Newsom fast-tracked $80 million to food banks throughout the state to help address cuts to food benefits.

Even though there are billions of dollars in contingency funds that could be used to fund SNAP, the Trump Administration is using the government shutdown to suspend food stamp benefits for the first time in the program’s history. 
 
It’s not just cruel—it’s illegal.
