Director, Roots of Change, advocate for healthy food and resilient farm policies, host of Flipping the Table podcast, winemaker & cook for the love of it.
The most important fight of my life isn’t in the ring.
I’m not fighting for a belt. I’m fighting for our health.
Processed foods are killing us. We have been lied to and we need to eat real food again.
As we all experience this heat wave, I want to thank our hardworking farm workers who continue to work in the fields in record-breaking heat. I hope our farmers and ag companies are going above and beyond what's required by law and doing *everything* they can to provide hydration and shade in the fields so that workers are protected. Their lives depend on it. Stay healthy everyone and give thanks to the farm workers putting food on your table. Photo: @CalMatters

Funding Farmworker Resource Centers and the Farmworker Component of the Low-Income Weatherization Program needs to be part of the #climatebond! These programs provide essential support to CA’s farmworkers facing climate change impacts! #SenMikeMcgure#CALeg #FoodandFarmClimateBond
⏳ The clock is ticking! @ilike_mike@MoniqueLimonCA@SenMariaEDurazo as we near the climate bond deadline, remember the vital role farmworkers play in our food system! Their health and safety are central to California agriculture. #CALeg#ClimateBond
Thank you, @AsmLoriDWilson, for championing AB 408 and advocating for investments in a resilient, healthy, and just food system in the #climatebond. Your dedication and influence over the past two years is truly appreciated! #CALeg#FoodandFarmClimateBond https://t.co/GpmoWzT6RF
Gr8 2c this from budget deal just made in Sac: Food and Agriculture. Rejects cuts to the CA Nutrition Incentive Program, Farm to Community Food Hubs Program, Farm to School Incubator Grant Program, and Relief for Small Farmers. Thx @SenMikeMcGuire@RobertRivas_CA@GavinNewsom
via Climate Central: Heat extremes hit billions: Poll workers, pilgrims, tourists have died in blistering heat worldwide. Dozens of cities in Mexico broke heat records killing over 100. India’s long heat wave killed election workers. In 12 mnths 6.3 billion, 4 of 5 people, lived through at least a month of extreme temps.
CA leaders, including @GavinNewsom, must work toward a healthy and climate-resilient food supply chain that will reduce fossil fuel + other emissions, ensure farmworkers have safe working conditions, and give access to fresh food throughout of the state. https://t.co/LQUTSVHu4T
