Lourdes works under a UFW contract part of the time and the rest of the time without union benefits. She marched the entire way from Delano to Sacramento and is now at the vigil after work. She says, "We want @CAgovernor Newsom to sign #AB2183 now, not tomorrow. Si Se Puede!"

IGH Gardens’ produce became important throughout the pandemic, when food banks and shelters noticed low food supplies paired with high costs and high demand. Charlie says, “It feels wonderful that I was able to fill in the gap.” @SpecNews1SoCal STORY: specne.ws/ofDzfv – at Los Angeles, CA

Only in its 1st year as a nonprofit, IGH Gardens is funded through the founder’s social security and donations. “This brings me great joy to give to those that have fallen on bad times just like I have,” said Charlie Southward @SpecNews1SoCal specne.ws/ofDzfv – at Los Angeles, CA

Fun Fact: Did you know that oftentimes a green bell pepper is a bell pepper that isn't fully ripe and can eventually turn into an orange, yellow, or red bell pepper when fully ripened? Lisa and Yvette packed these & additional items into 200 bags at our distro yesterday. 🙌 – at Los Alamitos, CA

Changing school food is a key climate change solution. More #plantbased & #organic food = less climate pollution. Spread the word for #ClimateFriendlySchoolFood with this new @FoE_US video! youtu.be/omV2eUQ3Kd8

Changing school food is a major climate change solution! If every public school swapped out a beef burger for a plant-based burger just once a month, we would save 1.4 BILLION pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Spread the word for #ClimateFriendlySchoolFood with this new video!
