#CalFresh keeps millions of CAs out of poverty. Immigration status should not be a barrier to our state’s food safety net 👏 #Food4All #NoExceptionsNoExclusionsNoDelays
Instead of following the Trump admin's lead and letting unjust exclusions go unchecked -- we can forge our own path in California and ensure immigration status is not a barrier to feeding our families, our neighbors, our communities. @governor.ca.gov - your legacy should include #Food4All!
“[Newson] has the power to invest in this budget to ensure that those 74,000 humanitarian #immigrants don’t lose access. Cuts have such a devastating impact to individuals, to families and to our local economies.” -Jackie Mendelson, Nourish CA #Food4All

So grateful to be part of the #Food4All team - we're coming for ya 2026!!
(we forgot to change the year from 2024 to 2025 on the opening slide oops!!)
We need bold leadership to fight for justice for immigrant communities, demand the immediate release of immigrant workers detained and David Huerta, and create a state that protects immigrant communities
#FreeDavidEndRaids
On Fri, ICE agents launched aggressive raids in LA. At 1 location, workers at a clothing warehouse were detained. At this same place, SEIU SWE & @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta was assaulted, injured, & detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He's still in federal custody. (2/3)
#Immigrants are vital to California's thriving foodscape and economy. They are our neighbors and loved ones. They must be protected from both the violence of kidnapping raids and the harmful exclusion from programs like #Medicaid and #CalFresh. #FreeDavidEndRaids (1/3)
Join me & amazing leaders in Food4All as we call on our state's leaders @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social to protect Food4All and reject the trigger-on in the May Revision!
#Food4All #NoExceptionsNoExclusions #NoDelays
#Food4All team with our champion, Asm. Celeste Rodriguez last week! We're planning our next steps to ensure that all Californians have access to the food they need and want, regardless of immigration status or age! #NoExceptionsNoExclusions #NoDelays
I'll be calling in support of #Food4All on Tuesday, May 6! Will you join me?
CA's food safety net should not discriminate based on immigration status or age! We need @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social @scottwiener.bsky.social @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social &others to be leaders in our fight against hunger. Use our script & call them in support of #Food4All 👏 bit.ly/call_food4all
take a look at the life of #AB1049 so far!
the next chapter to come = being reviewed in the Appropriations Committee! #Food4All #NoExceptionsNoExclusions
CalFresh is a vital tool in mitigating poverty across the state.
Harmful policies that would reduce benefits would make it harder for millions with low incomes to put food on the table.

#AB1049 will help more low-income immigrant families in California get the food assistance they need by removing a complicated rule called sponsor deeming. #Food4All means no exceptions, no exclusions, no delays.
Join the #Food4AllWeekofAdvocacy starting today!
The #Food4All coalition is advocating for Asm Rodriguez‘s #AB1049 to remove the sponsor deeming rule from CFAP. It is an unnecessary rule that creates additional barriers for families when they need food benefits the most.
Food4All means everyone has access to the food they need and want with no exceptions, no exclusions, and no delays – and this includes the removal of sponsor deeming from CFAP!
