Older adults & people w/ disabilities on #SSI volunteer in their community, are caregivers, & make valuable contributions to society. Enacting these #CABudget requests would allow recipients to reach economic self-sufficiency & live with dignity Senator Caroline Menjivar Senator Shannon Grove
About 1 million Californians on SSI/SSP should not have to choose between food, shelter, and medicine, yet the price of these basic needs exceeds the SSI/SSP grants in ALL counties. Support increasing #SSI so we can afford to live! #CAbudget Senator Caroline Menjivar Senator Shannon Grove
“While we fight Trump’s cruel attacks on Medicaid and the Social Security promised to those we care for, we will also create the additional safety net needed to keep our loved ones from being forced onto the street,” Arnulfo De La Cruz, Pres. SEIU Local 2015 seiuca.org/press-releases…
📢 Tell Rep. David Valadao that Californians can't afford SNAP cuts!! #HandsOffSNAP #SaveSNAP
We are grateful for Governor Gavin Newsom commitment to preserving SSI/SSP grants in the May Revision. We are concerned about the significant cuts proposed in Medi-Cal & IHSS. Full statement here: ca4ssi.org/the-latest Senator Scott Wiener Assemblymember Corey Jackson Asm. Jesse Gabriel
We urge Young Kim Rep. David Valadao Rep. Ken Calvert Rep. Doug LaMalfa to protect #SNAP and #Medicaid. Cuts to these programs would increase hunger & sickness among older adults and ppl w/ disabilities, 64% of CA’s SSI recipients are on SNAP & all are on Medicaid. ca4ssi.org/the-latest
