AB 1871 icon

2.20.2018 Hunger doesn’t care where kids go to school. That’s why California needs AB 1871 (Bonta) to guarantee that all low-income, public school students — including charter school students — have access to free and reduced-price school meals. A recent Mercury News article calls the bill Assemblymember Bonta’s “crusade” to give charter school students equitable access to school meals. We’re proud to be crusading alongside him.

Please join us: submit a letter of support for this important legislation. Letters are due 3/15! link
