Food banks statewide are in a perfect storm - huge cuts in federal and local funding, massive cost increases bc of #inflation, and spiking demand from neighbors struggling. We're calling on @CAgovernor to support food banks in the #cabudget #CAWealth4Health

⬇️This...⬇️ SSI increase is needed now in #CABudget! #CAWealth4Health #HungerAction @CAGovernor @MarieWaldron75 @SenToniAtkins @ShannonGroveCA @Rendon63rd
In many counties, the SSI grant does not cover the cost of a studio apartment. Reporting from CA the 5th richest economy in the world… Raise SSI! #CAWealth4Health @CAGovernor @MarieWaldron75 @SenToniAtkins @ShannonGroveCA @Rendon63rd

No one should have to live in poverty- it’s time that CA’s poorest and most vulnerable get a share of the state’s prosperity. We stand with SSI/SSP recipients to demand livable grants. @CAGovernor @MarieWaldron75 @SenToniAtkins @ShannonGroveCA @Rendon63rd #CAWealth4Health

We support the Senate budget blueprint which accelerates the increases to the SSI/SSP grants and provides a grant for SSI/SSP recipients. Fund accelerated SSI increase in #CABudget! @CAGovernor @MarieWaldron75 @SenToniAtkins @ShannonGroveCA @Rendon63rd #CAWealth4Health

Given gender and racial discrimination in wages most SSI recipients are women, people of color and immigrants. Fund accelerated SSI increase now! #CAWealth4Health @CAGovernor @MarieWaldron75 @SenToniAtkins @ShannonGroveCA @Rendon63rd

Read our statement on @CAgovernor’s proposal. Individuals & couples need full restoration to survive. “If we are to be honest, all the increases combined since 2009 have not caught us up to any of the cost of living...” - Steven, a blind SSI recipient static1.squarespace.com/stat…

Maritza provides a powerful remarks. “I have lost my job and I do not have money to pay the rent. I have been supporting myself by eating the products that food banks offer. I have to stretch every dollar to secure a plate of food the next day.” #AB221 #CaLeg

We need to help our working-class families, especially in immigrant communities, many risking their lives to provide us with essential services. That's why I coauthored #AB221, which would provide emergency food assistance to those struggling. #FoodForAll

.@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom vetoed an emergency food bill last year. Hunger in CA got worse, while CA revenue increased. So we've reintroduced #AB221 w/@CHIRLA, @CAFoodBanks, & Assembly Members @SantiagoAD53, @RobertRivas_CA, @DavidChiu & @SusanRubioCA. a53.asmdc.org/press-releases…
