We're now at the point in the legislative session when a lot of bills have been or will soon be heard in their respective policy committees in their house of origin (e.g. the Human Services Committee). Read on to learn a little more about the Appropriations Committee's unique role and process for determining which bills keep moving toward the Governor's desk, and which are left behind each legislative session.

The Legislature and Governor deserve significant thanks for taking this first major step toward an equitable nutrition safety-net. They also need to hear from you that immigrants of ALL ages, regardless of immigration status, need access to critical food assistance.
Led by Nourish California and the California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC), the Food4All Coalition is a diverse, robust network of state and local anti-hunger, immigrant rights, and advocacy organizations. Together, we seek to expand the California Food Assistance Program to provide essential food assistance to California immigrants who are ineligible for federal CalFresh due solely to their immigration status.
The hunger crisis exacerbated by the pandemic is not over. We need transformative, long-term solutions to end poverty & hunger in CA. No one should go hungry in our state. #Food4All Engage
