Action Needed this Week on Safe Water through CalFresh
Struggling Californians without safe water need your help! As the State Budget goes into Conference, the time is NOW to tell state leaders to fund a CalFresh initiative to bring relief to those living with unsafe water. 2017-18 Budget Conference negotiations will be starting this week.
State Budget Conferees need to hear from you THROUGHOUT THE WEEK to urge them to include the Assembly's $5 million CalFresh Safe Water initiative in the 2017-18 state budget. Act now to show your support!
Two Ways to Take Action Today:
Reach out to budget leaders and let them know that you support the Assembly version of the CalFresh-Safe Water Initiative link
Thanks to you and a broad coalition of supporters, we are closer to having a strong 'tool in the toolbox' to fight hunger, promote health and mitigate poverty in California. AB 164 moves to the Assembly Floor next week, after passing out of Appropriations today! AB 164 creates a pathway to provide state CalFresh food assistance when federal assistance is unavailable or inadequate.
Some Californians face unique challenges. AB 164 creates a pathway to mitigate the harm of inequities. For example, the mechanism established by AB 164 could provide supplemental nutrition benefits to thousands of residents living without safe drinking water.
