Advocating for an equitable + just food system where all have access to the food they want + need to thrive. #Food4All. (she/her/they/them). Views my own.
Instead of following the Trump admin's lead and letting unjust exclusions go unchecked -- we can forge our own path in California and ensure immigration status is not a barrier to feeding our families, our neighbors, our communities. @governor.ca.gov - your legacy should include #Food4All!
The #Food4All coalition responds to Governor Newsom's budget proposal. We urge state leaders to create a stronger safety net in California and not bend to the harmful policies of the federal government.

“[Newson] has the power to invest in this budget to ensure that those 74,000 humanitarian #immigrants don’t lose access. Cuts have such a devastating impact to individuals, to families and to our local economies.” -Jackie Mendelson, Nourish CA #Food4All

Newsom calls California a “beacon” amid Trump era chaos in his final State of the State
Newsom’s final State of the State address zeroed in on California’s resilience, its budget crunch and high costs while casting the state as a counter to President Trump.

On Fri, ICE agents launched aggressive raids in LA. At 1 location, workers at a clothing warehouse were detained. At this same place, SEIU SWE & @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta was assaulted, injured, & detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He's still in federal custody. (2/3)

#Immigrants are vital to California's thriving foodscape and economy. They are our neighbors and loved ones. They must be protected from both the violence of kidnapping raids and the harmful exclusion from programs like #Medicaid and #CalFresh. #FreeDavidEndRaids (1/3)

CalFresh is a vital tool in mitigating poverty across the state.
Harmful policies that would reduce benefits would make it harder for millions with low incomes to put food on the table.

#AB1049 will help more low-income immigrant families in California get the food assistance they need by removing a complicated rule called sponsor deeming. #Food4All means no exceptions, no exclusions, no delays.
This week, the #Food4All coalition is conducting in-district and virtual meetings with state legislators as part of our #Food4AllWeekofAdvocacy
Join us by asking your representatives to remove barriers to food security & support Asm Rodriguez‘s #AB1049.

The #Food4All coalition is advocating for Asm Rodriguez‘s #AB1049 to remove the sponsor deeming rule from CFAP. It is an unnecessary rule that creates additional barriers for families when they need food benefits the most.

Food4All means everyone has access to the food they need and want with no exceptions, no exclusions, and no delays – and this includes the removal of sponsor deeming from CFAP!
Asm Celeste Rodriguez introduced #AB1049 today to improve food access/reduce food insecurity across CA 👏
If passed, #AB1049 would remove a complicated eligibility requirement from the California Food Assistance Program! #Food4All
