CalWORKs Association

The CalWORKs Association's vision is a California where families find economic and social justice through education.

"If the child is still in need, the parent is in need." YESSS!!! #wearecalworks #calworks @AsmCoreyJackson @AsmPhilTing @AsmPhilTing Radical transportation is what is needed.

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

@AsmCoreyJackson Many counties require #CalWORKs participants to keep an actual log of every time they drive somewhere in order to access transportation ancillaries. Why not evaluate their weekly schedules and provide ancillary payments based on that?

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

@AsmCoreyJackson Many counties won't pay transportation ancillaries for driving to and from childcare, even though it's required in the welfare-to-work contract. #calworks #GoGlennda!!!

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

@AsmCoreyJackson If you send your #CalWORKs child to a licensed provider, the state will pay a fair wage to the worker. If you prefer to have a family member watch your child, the family member is paid an extremely low rate (far under minimum wage). This reduces childcare uptake

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

@PhilTing , the cost of participating in CalWORKs is often misogyny, racism, classism, & humiliation, and the outcome is child poverty. We need to reimagine the culture of CalWORKs to improve the #CalWORKs Program and reduce child poverty. @AsmArambula @AsmCoreyJackson #AB310

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

CalWORKs recipients deserve transportation ancillaries at the federal reimbursement rate. Why does it cost CalWORKs parents less than state workers to travel by car? It doesn't. @AsmCoreyJackson @AsmArambula #calworks #reimaginecalworks

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

CalWORKS 2.0 was never law, and was never implemented by many counties, @AsmArambula
@AsmCoreyJackson We need to start over and #reminagecalworks #calworks #AB310

Disconnecting counties from WPR will make all the difference @Western_Center Thank you for your advocacy, Linda Nguy!

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

Kim Johnson @CaliforniaDSS, we support your shifting language. "Family Empowerment" is a big step forward.

[CalWORKs Association @WeAreCalWORKS]

@CaliforniaDSS Kim Johnson, we support family empowerment, too. Thank you for shifting the language at DSS.
