What happened when we provided 60,000 CA farm and food workers with $600 relief payments funded through a USDA grant?

211 connects millions of Californians each year to housing, food, child care, and other resources. State and local government relies on 211 to support communities through crisis, but California doesn't provide ongoing funding for 211. Speak up for state funding: go.unitedwaysca.org/fund-211

United Ways of California @unitedwaysca.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

In 2025, 211s received 1.8 million calls and texts, including over 41,000 during the LA fires. CA legislators, please support AB 1832 (Ransom) and the $20 million one-time budget request to help 211s continue providing free, critically needed services to our communities! #211

United Ways of California @unitedwaysca.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

This bill addresses critical gaps in local 211 funding and would help the 211 network support even more Californians in times of crisis. As proud co-sponsors, we're committed to rallying even more support in the Senate as the bill moves forward.

United Ways of California @unitedwaysca.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

A significant milestone for a bill is to make it out of its house of origin—and AB 1832 just cleared it. AB 1832, the 211 Infrastructure and Emergency Response Act by Assemblymember Ransom, passed the Assembly Floor vote and now moves to the Senate!

United Ways of California @unitedwaysca.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Even in tough economic realities, California should always avoid balancing its budget on the backs of our most vulnerable communities, and so we call for adjustments to the final state budget to ensure it prioritizes Californians who need support the most.

At a time when federal cuts to safety net programs like SNAP continue to restrict access to critical food assistance, and when additional cuts to Medicaid/Medi-Cal loom only months away as a result of H.R. 1, California faces difficult decisions in order to pass a balanced budget.

Through AB 1690, we have an opportunity to support more households that aren’t paid enough to afford the high cost of living in California.

AB 1690 by Assemblymember Ahrens, to expand Young Child Tax Credit eligibility, passed the Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee and is now one step closer to becoming a reality! It heads to the Appropriations Committee next.

AB 1832 by @asmransom.bsky.social passed the Communications & Conveyance Committee and now heads to the Assembly Appropriations Committee! This bill would support the 211 network in being there for even more Californians, particularly during times of crisis and natural disasters.

United Ways of California @unitedwaysca.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

If left unaddressed, these vulnerabilities risk 211 service shutdown or service cuts in over a dozen counties and threaten the state’s growing reliance on this essential community service and critical communications infrastructure that Californians access year-round and during disasters.

AB 1832, the 211 Infrastructure and Emergency Response Act by Assemblymember Ransom @asmransom.bsky.social, is heading to the Communications & Conveyance Committee on 4/15. AB 1832 addresses urgent vulnerabilities in local 211 funding.

Communities urgently need continued access to 211 services, and 211 urgently needs state support to address Californians’ ongoing, emerging, and disaster-related needs.

AB 1690 is in the committee’s suspense file for now, which means it’s critical for legislators to continue to hear from Californians that this bill is important to us! Urge your officials to support this bill moving forward: go.unitedwaysca.org/yctc #AB1690 #TaxCredits

Urge State Leaders to Expand the Young Child Tax Credit for More CA Families
