This food security program was created to fill the gap on food insecurity amongst farm worker families in California.
We believe those that feed the nation should have access to nutritional foods for their children.
Did you know that farmworkers are the lowest paid labor force in the US? The average income for farmworkers is $17,000 - $20,000, which fall BELOW poverty line of $24,300.
Together we can fill the gap on hunger, but it takes everyone doing their part.
Georges Erasmus, an Aboriginal leader from Canada, said, “Where common memory is lacking, where people do not share in the same past, there can be no real community. Where community is to be formed, common memory must be created.” If the United States wants to find a path of healing, the road toward reconciliation will not begin with new laws but with an accurate portrayal of our history. If we want a real community in this nation, we must start with creating a shared memory. We ask you to support that your state works with Native Nations to develop a curriculum of real indigenous history. Students must be taught about treaties, land rights, water rights, and the fact that tribes are still fighting to be recognized and respected.
Congressional leaders have re-introduced the Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929, bill HR 1511, that would provide a path to permanent residency for millions of undocumented Americans.

Placenta accreta (PAS), is a pregnancy complication that occurs when the placenta attaches too deeply into the wall of the uterus. Placenta accreta puts the mother at risk of severe blood loss and other complications. While placenta accreta is not preventable as of now, National Accreta Foundation actively promotes efforts to decrease the amount of women at risk of developing accreta by increasing awareness of the condition, promoting appropriate use of cesareans, and improving quality of care for those who do develop PAS.
