TY @NextGen_Policy for featuring my legislation, SB907, to improve access to healthy foods for all California families, regardless of income, as well as increasing the number of farmers’ markets throughout California. #LEAF @AlchemistCDC
Who's ready for a brand new issue of What's Next? 🆕📬
As we prep for the final weeks of the #CALeg session, we're looking back at a recent climate op-ed we wrote for @Capitol_Weekly, info on policy items like #LEAF & #SB253, plus a few other hot topics: go.nextgenpolicy.org/GkG1

.@RepMcGovern calls out #SNAPChoice restrictions in House #AgApprops bill:
We already nickel and dime people on #SNAP with a $6/day benefit, and this would micromanage what they could purchase
It shows you're not sitting down with people with lived experience of #hunger 👏🔥

Really proud to be the author of this legislation.
Now, former foster youth in California can attend college without debt, including their housing, books, tuition and food.
This is a game changer.
All foster kids in California can now attend any state university or community college for free!
In partnership with the Legislature, we’re increasing opportunities at our universities.

A peer reviewed study showed that #NutritionIncentives that are offered at farmers' markets (like #CNIP #MarketMatch) increase #nutritionsecurity. @CAgovernor please take the opportunity to #FundCNIP in the #CAbudget. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
