Nancy Skinner tells #HungerActionDay :

I grew up in a family with many brothers and sisters, and we didn’t always have enough to eat. I am so proud California was the first in the country to achieve #SchoolMealsForAll so all children can learn and grow! 👏🔥

With #CaBudget cuts likely, 1 area should be on the table: #CaPrisons . There are 15K empty beds. We can consolidate facilities without risk to public safety & invest more in programs that make us safer. CURB & I make the case for my bill, #AB2178 . latimes.com/opinion/story/…

We're still feeling the energy from #ImmigrantDay2024 ! We had a delegation of 35 members, partners & students travel to Sac to advocate for policies that protect #immigrantrights . We also asked state reps to protect $15.2M in the #CAbudget for immigration legal services programs.

200+ people are coming to the CA capitol tomorrow to ask Gavin Newsom and #CAleg for $200M in the #CAbudget . Services for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, child abuse, and elder abuse are facing 44% cuts without this funding.

It's not too late to help fight food insecurity in CA!✊📣 #SchoolMealsForAll MUST remain a priority in the #CABudget to ensure that NO child in our state goes hungry! 🍎🥦

Send a quick email to #CALeg urging them to support schoolmealsforall!
