📢Families in need shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to access support. Our friend @cheyne_andrew from @EndChildPovCA sheds light on the challenges families face in accessing CalWORKs in this @ABC10 piece. It’s time to remove these obstacles and ensure families get the resources they deserve. 💯

📢 There’s no way to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid without hurting families who are already struggling with rising costs. Cutting Medicaid would push families towards bankruptcy, putting them one medical emergency away from crushing medical debt. We can’t afford these rushed cuts. 💯 📞 Call your lawmaker now at 866-426-2631 and tell them reckless Medicaid cuts should be off the table. #HandsOffMedicaid #SaveMedicaid

HOPE Accounts are a game-changer for CA’s foster youth and kids who lost a parent to COVID. ✨ Thousands of youths are eligible for a trust account that can grow to an estimated $4,500 by age 18 and the option for financial education. 💸 📽️ @CalTreasurer’s new video explains more.

📢Stealing food stamp benefits from recipients is a widespread problem. That’s why the federal government used to reimburse people. But the new policy tells struggling families you are on your own, as @DevonGrayCA writes in @thenation.

Our founder, @MichaelDTubbs, delivered an inspiring keynote at @YMCALA's 54th annual MLK Brotherhood Breakfast. He connected Dr. King’s message to today’s challenges, emphasizing the urgent need to address the climate disaster in LA. As we face this crisis, let us remember that charity alone is not justice—true justice means standing together to create lasting change. 💪

On this #MLKDay, we reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s timeless message of justice, equality, and unity. His leadership reminds us that change begins with courage and compassion. Let’s continue the work to build a future rooted in justice, equality, and opportunity for all. 🌍🤝
