marking our calendars for the 2026 Immigrant Day of Action 🗓️

This is a critical time where families need more help accessing food -- and the federal government wants to continue to cut off their resources. #CalFresh and food banks are two powerful approaches to feeding Californians. We must invest in them. capitolweekly.net/how-sacramen... @cafoodbanks.org

Federal #SNAP cuts "would take food assistance away from Californians who are barely getting by. In a state where the cost of living is among the highest in the nation, the consequences would be especially severe..." calmatters.org/commentary/2...

“With 20% of CA families, including children, seniors, &those with chronic health conditions, experiencing food insecurity on a daily basis, expanding access to healthy food is not just a policy priority, it is a moral obligation,” Senator Laura Richardson #CalFresh lasentinel.net/richardson-h...

5.5 million Californians rely on #CalFresh / #SNAP benefits and families had already begun receiving their full benefits on Nov 7. The situation continues to change -- we will share updates as they come www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The Trump Admin's decision to only PARTIALLY pay Nov #SNAP benefits creates harm, chaos, & confusion for the 42 million people who rely on the program & the state agencies that administer it. They must use other funds to ensure full Nov benefits! Take Action: secure.everyaction.com/XFGJy61PjEqW...

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

Millions of families are losing access to food with cuts to #SNAP / #CalFresh. These aren't just numbers -- they are real people having to making impossible choices: rent or food, medicine or groceries, car payments or dinner for their children.

" #SNAPbenefits were already modest... and 'partial' payments means additional hardships." Families deserve access to food! We can't understand holding food benefits hostage, especially during the holiday season #CalFresh #SNAP #EBT

“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

42 million Americans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits on Nov 1st. @USDA has a contingency fund but hasn't released it. Contact your Members of Congress today: mazon.org/policy_actio... #SNAPdayofaction #SNAPdoa

#CalFresh helps more than 5.5M Californians/month. But the #BigBrutalBill is slashing this critical program. More people will have to deal with restrictive work requirements and deal with more red tape to access the food benefits they need. www.abc10.com/article/news...

The Trump Administration is threatening the wellbeing of our children -- this time, by going after free school meals. Read more: sacobserver.com/2025/08/big-...

The cost of groceries* are not going down.   One reason why is that Trump keeps sending ICE to terrorize hardworking immigrant farmworkers who do the dangerous & underpaid work of feeding our country.   *A word that pretty much everyone, especially those who work for a living, is familiar with, btw.

In partnership with many other food justice advocates, we have raised concerns and unintended consequences of this bill -- but our concerns have been ignored ‼️ Call Assemblymembers Wicks and Rivas and urge them to hold #SB18 until it can be improved! Use our script >>

"If passed, #SB18 risks allocating taxpayer dollars to large corporate grocers with long histories of worker exploitation, price hikes and community disinvestment." @sacbee.com www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

"While these chains supply groceries to millions, their market dominance often results in ⬆️ prices, limited options & suppressed wages. >75% of Kroger workers are food insecure & rely on #CalFresh or #Medi-Cal." Learn why #SB18 needs more community input www.mercedsunstar.com/opinion/arti...

🚨 submit your public comment to stop the federal government from restricting immigrant access to more basic needs programs! everyone deserves access to food, healthcare, and education #PRWORA Use the script in our blog post ⬇️ nourishca.org/blog-categor...

“ #HR1 harms the well-being of children and families in California – particularly Black & brown communities.” -Nourish CA sacobserver.com/2025/08/big-... @sacobserver.com

Many college students face food insecurity while juggling their studies, extracurriculars, & work. Some colleges are creating new ways to keep their students fed! We are so excited to partner w/ #ComptonCollege for our #2025CalFreshForum. See you there in October 🙌🏼 calmatters.org/education/hi...

If our government can spend $30 BILLION A YEAR to target and deport our immigrant neighbors, it has the money to invest in health care, housing, and education for all of us. We don't have a money shortage. We have a values shortage.

we joined #SenatorDurazo for a store visit to talk about the #CalFresh Fruit and Vegetable Program! community members shared how this program helps feed their families 💛 while this program received $$ in the state budget, we don't have the official restart date yet. we'll let you know ASAP 🤝

"Many places are being left without workers. And the fruit is going to waste out of fear, not because people don't want to work. It's out of fear & dread." No one should fear being torn from their loved ones for going to work. buff.ly/6zGlmMO
