the California WIC Association is holding an event at the state capitol. They are also lobbying heavily in congressional districts that chair the committee to find more ways to fund the program. I'm going to solicit for protesters to attend the event. Our issue would be themed around how taxpayer funds are being usurped by foreigners who are here illegally, and not aimed at the program in general.
