Families are already struggling to afford food and rent. Now Congress is letting health care costs skyrocket, too.

Yesterday’s Senate Human Services Hearing on H.R. 1 and the shutdown crisis was a powerful reminder of what’s truly at stake.
@jessearreguin.bsky.social said it clearly: “We have to center the families who access #CalFresh. No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.”

As a former Starbucks barista myself, I stand with workers! (+ another plug to buy from local coffee shops when you can 🤎☕ ) #NoContractNoCoffee
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.

The decision to provide only partial benefits forces state agencies to scramble under unclear guidance, which will further delay benefits. It also means that families are missing out on much needed nutrition support.
