Millions of Californias could miss out on #FederalStimulus payments because they didn't file 2019 or 2020 taxes. The #AmericanRescuePlan has expanded the child tax credit, w/ monthly payments of up to $300 for each young child starting in July.

Soda consumption is tied to increased risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, & other diseases. #AB1163 would restore the right of cities & counties to have the option to pass sugary drink taxes. Send an email to show your support & urge for a hearing TODAY!

[PHI: find us other places at PublicHealthInstitute @PHIdotorg]

Communities should decide how to fight for our health, not #BigSoda. Chair @AsmAutumnBurke, please hear #AB1163 in Rev & Tax & vote yes. Don’t let #BigSoda control our health. We deserve a choice! Learn more & act now: https://t.co/rSfIvWNLO6
