We Did It! SB1254 is in the Governor’s Hands—Let’s Get It Signed!

Published on Sep 6, 2024 in CalFresh, State Legislation, Thriving Transitions

Thanks to your incredible support, SB 1254 has successfully passed through both houses of the California Legislature! We are now one step closer to ensuring that incarcerated individuals can apply for CalFresh benefits before their release, easing their transition back into the community and reducing food insecurity.

Transitions are hard, especially for those impacted by incarceration. Access to food is a basic need that helps stabilize lives and supports successful reentry into society. By signing SB 1254, Governor Newsom can make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of Californians, helping them rebuild and thrive.

Join us in urging Governor Newsom to sign SB 1254 into law. Your voice matters—let’s make this happen!
