#calfresh — Public Fediverse posts

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill cut food stamps for refugees, asylees, trafficking survivors, and abuse victims. Took effect April 1 🚨 72,000 lose CalFresh in California. 13,000 in San Diego County. Current recipients keep benefits until renewal — usually yearly — then they're cut. SNAP faces $186B in cuts through 2034. These families were already too scared to go to grocery stores.

Native People Rush to Feed the People

"The #BlackfeetNation brought in a load of produce from the #YakamaNation, and #FortPeck announced buffalo distribution. #GilaRiver is giving tribal members $1,000 in hardship funds, as the government shut-down continues.

"Blackfeet Tribal Council Member Mike Comes At Night brought in a load of produce from the Yakama Nation in Washington State for the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. 'We made it home safely from the Yakama Nation with a generous load of produce for the Blackfeet People. I am honored, as a Councilman, to serve our people. I’ve traveled hundreds of miles to help
bring food home, and at the end of the day, I know I am doing my job. I also want to thank all the farmers who helped us with this food — may the Creator bless them and their families," Comes at
Night said.

"#FortPeck's #Assiniboine and #Sioux Tribes are distributing buffalo meat, and gathering groceries, after declaring a state of emergency in Montana.

"In California, the #Yurok Tribal Council approved $300 food assistance cards for Yurok because of the disruptions in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program #SNAP, and #CalFresh benefits, due to the federal government shutdown.
'Our goal is to help our most vulnerable citizens get through this challenging time,' said Yurok Chairman Joseph L. James, who said the tribe is working to mitigate the hardships on families from
the federal shutdown.

"In #Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the #CherokeeNation announced a $6.5 million response package. This includes cash payments of up to $185 per individual Cherokee Nation citizens on SNAP. It also includes over $1.25 million to support food banks and other non-profit food programs.

"The Cherokee Nation's expanded emergency declaration includes tribal members who are currently on SNAP living anywhere in the United States. The Cherokee Nation has over 470,000 citizens living in all fifty states. Cherokee Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. said the Cherokee's network of 27 “at-large” organizations located in urban areas could access grants of $5,000 to address local food shortages.

"The #GilaRiverIndianCommunity, south of #Phoenix in #Arizona, is distributing $1,000 hardship payments to all adult tribal members, regardless of whether or not they are SNAP recipients.

"Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis said, 'We want to make sure that, as a sovereign nation, we take care of our members during this unprecedented shutdown.'

" 'I hope that this payment brings some peace of mind during this time of uncertainty at the federal
level.' "

David Guarino transformed the formerly-complex #CalFRESH digital application into a simple, 10-minute process. "The end result was a lowest-burden application form that actually gets a caseworker what they need to efficiently and effectively process it. We did a lot of iteration to figure out that sweet spot," he says.
