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.

"In what world is it moral to inflict cuts to programs utilized by the most vulnerable families… all in the name of giving an annual average tax cut of $62,000 to people making $743,000 or more a year?”-Asm. LaShae Sharp-Collins

Work requirements to receive #CalFresh don't increase employment!
"Instead, they take health care, food, and other vital resources away from families and individuals in need — disproportionately Black people and other people of color" calbudgetcenter.org/resources/pa...

🦋California has the 4th largest economy in the world yet, there are approximately 1.6 million children in California that live in poverty.
📣Safetynet programs like #CalFresh, #CalWORKS, #CalEITC and Child Tax Credits help to children and families cover their basic needs.
"California’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office warned that the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act could strip hundreds of millions of dollars a year in #CalFresh food aid from low-income Californians and shift billions in costs to state and counties."

☔️Rain or shine, we show up! Andrew from ECPCA was at the California State Capitol yesterday as lawmakers assessed the real damage from the federal shutdown. The shutdown is over, but the impact is not.

Yesterday’s Senate Human Services Hearing on H.R. 1 and the shutdown crisis was a powerful reminder of what’s truly at stake.
@jessearreguin.bsky.social said it clearly: “We have to center the families who access #CalFresh. No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.”
We already have fraud protection in place! What else should we do?!
