In California, ICE raids happen every day, interrupting our sense of safety and disappearing neighbors. Even in detention, detainees have gone 40 weeks without fresh fruits. Food is a human right, which means it applies to everyone.

"This is the moral bankruptcy at the heart of American food culture: we want the labor, we want the cuisine, we want the restaurants—we just don’t want the human beings."- Mike Lee ICE's terrorizing of communities across the nation is a food system issue. Its a labor issue. Its a food access issue.

foodbanknews.org/how-the-right-to-food-is-shaping-up-in-the-u-s/ “What the government shutdown showcased to us is that the safety net system is extremely fragile,” said Regi Young, Executive Director of ACCFB. Read how a Right-to-Food Framework is helping to transform the conditions of hunger!

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. full statement: nourishca.org/whats-fresh/...

"Despite being the backbone of our food system, farmworkers continue to face immense challenges, including lack of health care, food insecurity, and poor housing....many farmworker families rely on food banks to feed their families." www.fresnobee.com/opinion/read... by partner advct, Yelisa Abriz!

The federal shutdown and the way in which SNAP was used as a ‘bargaining chip’ emphasized the importance of establishing stronger protections for the right to food across the United States. “Food is life. Everyone who wants to live needs to eat.” www.righttofoodus.org/post/federal...

Native women fight not just for a paycheck—but for our families, our sovereignty, and our future. When we are paid less, our entire community feels the loss. Equal pay is about justice, survival, and dignity for all. #EquityForNativeWomen #NativeWomensEqualPay

In response to cuts to CalFresh benefits, food hubs like Foodshed Cooperative in San Diego are part of a regional effort to get food out to people, fast. No better way than working with local farmers! fox5sandiego.com/news/local-n...

Even half of SNAP funds are not enough this holiday season, and it never has been. Call your representatives today to get USDA to release SNAP benefits

“Food banks were not meant to be able to replace #CalFresh. For every 1 meal that a food bank provides, CalFresh provides 9. So those loss of benefits are really going to impact #foodbanks." -Kevin Buffalino, Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services www.kcra.com/article/cali... @kcranews.bsky.social

This Halloween, we're scared of the impact that the CalFresh benefit pause will cause. @usdagov.bsky.social can still and SHOULD allocate emergency $$ for November. Meanwhile, food banks are bracing for huge surges, and neighbors are stocking up on nutrient-rich snacks to pass out on Halloween

We all want economic prosperity. But greedy corporations like Amazon will fund a $300 million White House ballroom and cut their hard-working Amazon workers, who are already dealing with low labor standards. Is your job loss worth the construction of a ballroom you'll never set foot in?

Everyone knows that American Freedom is not force, sensorship, or intimidation. However, authoritarians want to criminalize resistance and make examples of those who lead, but we won't let that happen. We stand with David Huerta and demand that all charges against him be dropped! #standwithdavid

We'd like to extend a big THANK YOU to community voices and partners for their amazing advocacy for community-centered approaches!

The MAHA Commission strategy report confirms that the administration has no real plans to reduce exposures to pesticides. Further, it broadly reaffirms the administration’s continued reliance on voluntary industry compliance rather than enforceable federal regulation. www.panna.org/news/pesticid...

This Supreme Court's decision today on ICE raids is another indicator that this court does not stand for justice, but exists to legitimize the Trump administration's actions. As the otherization of communities continues to grow, we must remember that our struggles are the same.

"In the face of rising inequality and authoritarianism, unions organize, educate, and mobilize working people to defend voting rights, push back against disinformation, and expand civic participation." Strong worker power in the food system benefits all! www.epi.org/publication/...

“When profits falter, large grocery chains abandon communities — creating the very food deserts Rubio’s bill aims to address.”

Gov subsidies protecting extractive monopolies in the food system cost farmers, shoppers, and food chain workers their livelihoods. Divesting from them is how we drive change #caleg must take on all amendments to SB 18 to resource community-led effort. @buffywicks.bsky.social

CA leaders rally around “affordability,” but @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social's Cap-and-Trade proposal makes us ask: Why is Big Oil prioritized over affordable food and energy? sjvsun.com/ag/families-...
