Next #COVIDRelief Package Must Relieve Hunger
New tools to support your federal advocacy!
Senate and House leaders are negotiating a deal with the White House on the next coronavirus relief package. California's Senators, Diane Feinstein and Kamala Harris continue to publicly lift up the need for nutrition assistance. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has also been calling for a boost to SNAP. We need our congressional leaders to keep pushing hard over what could be several weeks of negotiations. And we need your help cheering on California Senators by asking them to continue lifting up critical hunger and economic relief provisions in the next recovery package. 

Help secure real #COVIDRelief. To support your advocacy we put together a toolkit tailored for use by California's nutrition and anti-hunger champions.
