They’re on the frontlines getting food to Californians left waiting as the Trump administration’s shutdown turns its back on families in need.

The Trump administration’s shutdown has turned its back on working people, cutting off food aid for families already doing everything they can to get by.
That’s why we’re deploying the California National Guard to help distribute food and investing $80M to keep food banks stocked.
