Sharing an op-ed I penned about the importance of SNAP--not just for the program's beneficiaries, but for all us. In the meantime, we're putting a lot of pressure on local food pantries--and they will certainly need our support. (TLDR: give money to your local orgs) www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Contributor: Interruption in SNAP benefit turns a chronic hunger problem into an acute crisis

Many food pantries are already operating at capacity and won't be able to close the gap when the federal shutdown cuts into aid.

🚨 Under H.R. 875, even a DUI arrest—not a conviction—could trigger deportation. Framed as “public safety,” the bill would expand racialized policing, detention, and family separation, deepening the harms immigrant communities already face. 1/2

Collective memory is the way that we remember history and that becomes central to our idea of who we are as a people. It’s a process of storytelling and the most central stories to who we are as a people. So let’s talk about the collective memory of the Civil Rights Movement. (1/4)
