UEPI Farm to School

Now is the time to make our voices heard! Help us make #Food4All (#SB464) a priority investment for California to advance equity and reduce hunger and poverty. Click here to make a call to @CAGovernor and key decision makers TODAY: bit.ly/f4abudget

New report from @calbudgetcenter shows the harm of excluding undocumented Californians from vital food assistance. Investment in providing food assistance to all California immigrants helps all communities thrive, improves our economy, and helps us weather economic downturns. @cagovernor , @senatorskinner, @philting, @rendon63rd, and @senatortoniatkins, help end the exclusion of immigrants from our most effective anti-hunger program. Please include #Food4All in the State budget, so no Californian is left out of these critical benefits.

Food is vital for the health and wellbeing of all people. We need to pass SB 464, so all Californians can afford the food they need. No exceptions, no exclusions. @portantino and @senatortoniatkins with your support, we can make California a leader and fix our unequal system! bit.ly/f4a2021 . . .... #Food4All #cabudget #noexceptionsnoexclusions #immigrantsareessential See more

Last month the Trump administration proposed a new rule that would rollback school lunch guidelines.
