Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...
These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients
Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

Medicaid, home care, and disability rights are under attack. Prop 50 helps us fight back and make our votes count. YES on Prop 50!
bit.ly/Prop50Disability
Heading reads Disabled People: Vote Yes on Prop 50, next to a graphic of a dark-skinned hand putting a ballot in a voting box. Text reads: The current Congress has voted to dramatically cut health care and home care, roll back reproductive rights, cut special education support, and target immigrants and trans people. Texas and Missouri have already changed Congressional districts to solidify power. It’s time to fight fire with fire. Prop 50 will temporarily change California’s Congressional district lines, just until 2030, so that we can stop Congress from destroying the lives of disabled people, especially Black and brown people, trans people, and immigrants. Let’s pass Prop 50! Learn more & get involved at bit.ly/Prop50Disability.
