Movement Messages: Legislative Advocacy in the Palm of Your Hand
Movement Messages is a Nourish California Short Message/Messaging Service (SMS) project.
This project is an easy way for you to get involved with legislative advocacy to make food easier to access in California.
Who is this for? Anyone who wants to get involved in advocacy, no matter your background or experience with using your voice for policy change.
As of today, you can sign up for actions from two of Nourish California's campaigns: Thriving Transitions and Food4All!
What is Thriving Transitions?
Thriving Transitions works with formerly incarcerated Californians to remove barriers to food, housing, healthcare, and other resources before release. Grounded in a restorative justice framework, Thriving Transitions focuses on policy change that emphasizes healing and restoration of justice-involved individuals and communities. As a result, Movement Messages will be a valuable new way to complete this mission and reach more communities.
We are excited to work with our campaign co-sponsor, All of Us or None, to get more people involved in this movement.
What is Food4All?
Food4All is a campaign to include all income-eligible Californians in food assistance benefits, regardless of immigration status. Starting October 1, 2026, the Food4All campaign is counting down 1 year to the implementation of our state's expansion of food benefits to Californians ages 55 and older, regardless of immigration status.
We are excited to work with our campaign co-sponsor, the California Immigrant Policy Center, to get more people involved and uplift our support for immigrant Californians.
Thank you!
Thank you to The California Endowment for supporting our work as we find new ways to make legislative advocacy more accessible. Our state must be able to hear from everyone in order to make systemic change that helps all Californians.
