Community members have shared their fears of participation in a census with a citizenship question, the inclusion of which was intended to terrorize, undercount, underrepresent and underfunded Latinx and other immigrant communities and people of color.

The 2020 census will be printed without the citizenship question, because it will ensure all that Californians feel safer as they participate in this important civic ritual of affirmation.

There is still much we must do together to ensure a fair and complete count of all California residents. At stake is not only political power and funding for vital community supports ranging from education to infrastructure, but our identity as a nation. When we deny someone’s place in our present, we deny their place in our history and in our future. We tell them something important about who we are and what we value.

This decision tells a different story: It is a win for inclusion, an invitation for everyone to be heard and to know that their contributions make their communities – and our state – a better place.

On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, will bring thousands of Americans to detention camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees.

El Paso, Texas, where migrants are being housed in outdoor conditions under a bridge with no running water for months at a time, is the anticipated site of the main Lights for Liberty vigil. Legislators, activists, organizers, and members of impacted communities are expected to speak.

Support CPJC by participating in Chico Natural’s Round Up Program for the entire month of JULY!!!

WHAT IS THE ROUNDUP PROGRAM?
For more than 40 years, the Chico Natural Foods Cooperative has been giving back to our community. In 2017 we introduced Register Round Up: a new way for customers to participate in this commitment. This simple yet powerful community giving program allows customers to “round-up” their grocery bill for recipient organizations that share our commitment to a healthy community.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our Front End clerks at the Co-op ask shoppers if they would like to round each transaction up to the next even dollar. The difference between the original purchase and the rounded up amount is donated to our partner organization. For example, if a purchase is $9.75, a Co-op clerk would ask the customer if they wanted to round up to $10.00. The remaining $0.25 would be donated to the partner organization. These small donations can add up to a major donation over the course of a year!

Chico Natural Foods is located at 818 Main Street, Chico, CA

Call Congress: No War with Iran!

We’ve never been closer to a full-scale war with Iran as we are right now.

Trump is going back and forth on whether to take military action in reaction to the Iranian government shooting down a U.S. drone in the Gulf of Oman yesterday. This comes on the heels of months of escalation and provocation by Trump’s war cabinet.

And the Trump-Bolton-Pompeo cabinet could race us toward war at any moment.

There has never been a more important time to contact your representative than this week. If Congress doesn’t hear from us right now, when we’re at the brink of a U.S.-Iran war, how are they going to know how badly we don’t want this war?!

Can you call your representative and demand speak out NOW and say NO WAR WITH IRAN?

Join us to make Simplicity Village happen! CHAT is raising $100,000 to build a tiny house village for seniors in Chico, California.

The Problem: A Severe Housing Crisis. In many areas across the country, there is little to no housing available that lower income people can afford. This problem is now worse than ever in Butte County, since the disastrous Camp Fire. Many vulnerable people, including senior citizens, find themselves without any housing options.

What we’re doing about it. The solution to homelessness is housing. Chico Housing Action Team has been sheltering and housing people in Chico for almost six years, first with the SafeSpace Winter Shelter, and then with our Housing Now program. Now CHAT is moving forward to create a tiny house village for seniors who have lost their housing. We have the land (2.5 acres), the engineering plans, the City’s approval, and lots of volunteers to help with building. But we need your help.

Who is CHAT? The Chico Housing Action Team (CHAT) is a grass-roots 501c3 non-profit organization of concerned citizens formed in Chico, California, in 2013, with the goal of ending homelessness in our community. Our funding comes from charitable grants, fundraising events, and generous community support. CHAT already houses about 100 formerly homeless people in rental housing and small trailers throughout our community, provides food deliveries and furniture, and has engaged dozens of volunteers in our many projects.
