Market Match is a statewide program that provides CalFresh recipients with matching funds for fresh fruits and vegetables when they use their CalFresh dollars at participating farmers markets and farmstands.

Recipients spend their CalFresh and Market Match funds directly with California farmers which not only encourages healthy eating habits but also keeps the funds in California and supports small- to mid-sized California family farms.

This win-win program has supported food access and local economies for over 15 years!

Call your California representatives and the Governor ASAP to ask them to REINSTATE MARKET MATCH in this year’s State Budget.

Follow these 3 easy steps:

1. Find your California representatives and phone @ findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov (Governor Newsom’s phone # is 916-445-2841).

2. Call and identify yourself as a constituent using your name and zip code.

3. Ask them to REINSTATE MARKET MATCH (it’s OK to leave a voicemail).

Hello, my name is [Your Name], my zip code is [Zip Code], and I am your constituent.

I am calling to urge the Assemblymember to SUPPORT AB 1603 because allowing the use of PFAS in pesticides is irresponsible and places both people and the environment at risk of avoidable harm.

Help Support CALPIRG in getting Amazon to reduce plastic packaging!

Less than 10% of the plastic ever created has been recycled. Most of it becomes permanent pollution.

When CALPIRG’s national research partners investigated how much of Amazon’s packaging gets recycled, the recycling rates were abysmal. Of the packages they tracked, almost none of them were actually recycled ~ even when they were labeled as recyclable and consumers tried to recycle them.

Making recycling more effective with transparent labels and clear instructions is helpful, but with the colossal amount of plastic being created every day, recycling is far from a viable solution to global pollution.

The best way to slow plastic pollution is to stop producing so much wasteful plastic in the first place. That’s why Amazon needs to do its part to stop the pollution problem at the root and cut out unnecessary plastic.

So what happens to all that plastic that doesn’t get recycled? Well, a lot of it is sent to the landfill, leaching chemicals into the soil and groundwater. Another large chunk of it is incinerated, releasing dangerous toxins into the air we breathe.

And, a huge amount of plastic packaging makes its way into our world’s waterways. That pollution doesn’t just harm natural ecosystems and wildlife, it also more quietly threatens our health.

That’s because plastic breaks down in the water, releasing microplastics. These tiny particles can absorb toxic chemicals like mercury and DDT, which are eaten by wildlife and bioaccumulate up the food chain, eventually ending up on our dinner tables.

We may not be able to see microplastics - and the chemicals they contain - in our food, air and water, but the risks they pose are far too serious to ignore.
