A Coalition Victory: Governor Newsom Signs SB 1254 Into Law
(listen to the post above)
I’m excited to share that Governor Newsom signed SB 1254 into law! This is a major step forward for California. Our campaign faced strong opposition, but we pushed through with determination and the support of an incredible coalition. Every obstacle overcome reaffirmed what we knew: this is good policy.
Thank you All of Us or None/LSPC, our co sponsors who kept us focused on those impacted from our community and the Thriving Transitions coalition for developing this timely piece of legislation. We so appreciate and recognize the significance of the direct action you took: our network, we couldn’t have done it without you. I also want to thank Senator Josh Becker for his dedication, a steady champion for SB 1254 so that food access can be part of the transition back to community across the state .
I’m encouraged by the bipartisan support we gained on this journey. It shows that human-centered policies can bring people together across the aisle. I'm proud of the hard work that got us here, alongside dynamic leaders.
Thank you Governor Newsom for recognizing the importance of this policy and signing it into law. It wasn't an easy journey, but together we made the case for smart, people-centered policy. This is just the beginning, and we’re ready for what comes next.
Transitions are hard. Food helps.
In solidarity,
Kameron
