Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

The Black Panthers gave free breakfast to kids, ran community clinics, taught political education . . . and the U.S. government labeled them the greatest internal threat to national security. Think about what that says.

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers.

As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.
