The CA Senate & Assembly included $36 million for the CalFresh Fruit and Vegetable EBT program in their budget proposal! We estimate this would be enough to restart the program for 8-10 months. We need @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social to keep this funding in the State Budget. Call him today!!

This is your regular reminder that if unions didn't work, giant corporations wouldn’t spend millions and millions of dollars trying to stop workers from making them.
Unions give workers power, and billionaire CEOs don't like that.

With the citrus harvest at peak, farm workers are hard at work in the Bakersfield, CA orchards.
Claims that farm workers are staying home simply are not true. There is anxiety around chaotic immigration sweeps, but they continue to feed America. #WeFeedYou

This is a good point: these efforts are not going to stop.
Don't forget what happened with the travel ban during the first Trump administration:
Version 1: Clumsy, overbroad, and poorly implemented; blocked by courts; withdrawn.
Version 2: Slightly less clumsy; slightly less overbroad; poorly implemented; blocked by courts; expired.
Version 3: Upheld.

It can be both true that undocumented immigrants are not their labor, and that without their labor our food supply would be in crisis.
They deserve full workplace rights and protections and a pathway to citizenship so they can have a chance to live their lives safely and in peace. #WeFeedYou
