Yesterday, our state legislators confirmed what we already know: California should feed kids no matter where they go to school.
AB 1871 (Bonta) passed out of the Senate and now heads to Governor Brown — the last and biggest hurdle on this long road to giving children in charter schools equitable access to school meals.
What’s Next?
Governor Brown has until the end of September to sign or veto bills. He can act on AB 1871 at any time, so let’s raise our voices now!
Here’s how you can help.

Hello. My name is ________. I live in ______, CA. I am calling to ask Governor Brown to sign AB 1871, a bill authored by Assemblymember Bonta, that will give low-income students in charter schools guaranteed access to school meals.
