At the heart of every campaign are the people we love and care for. #Food4All is no different - with your powerful advocacy and organizing, we have been able to win so much since the #Food4All campaign launched in 2021. With our most recent win last year to secure a down payment towards ending the exclusion of income eligible immigrants from the California Food Assistance Program (CFAP), we are coming back stronger than ever in 2022 to close gap of those who are excluded from CFAP entirely and make #Food4All a reality. 

CIPC and Nourish CA want to lift up the perspectives of people who have been excluded from CalFresh and CFAP  due to immigration status, especially those who are currently or have experienced food insecurity in the past.  If you know of a community member (a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or friend) who has been impacted in this way and would like to tell their story OR if you are willing to share your own story, please fill out the form below!

Alternatively, you can email Andre Barrios, CIPC's senior organizer, at abarrios@caimmigrant.org to schedule a 1:1 to talk through ways in which you are comfortable sharing your story! We take privacy very seriously and will never share a story without checking in with you. We will honor all requests for anonymity. CIPC may also be able to provide a modest stipend to impacted individuals for opportunities where they choose to share their story.

Let's put faces to this campaign and let everyone know why exclusions for food assistance are UNACCEPTABLE! We're going to win this!
