SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) issued the following statement in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the urgent need for access to basic aid:
"What's unfolding in Gaza is indefensible. Innocent civilians should be protected, not starved. No Child should go to bed feeling hungry and no family should face violence or persecution for trying to feed themselves. Meeting basic needs is not a concession, it's a fundamental obligation. As the efforts continue to bring hostages home, we must ensure that essential aid reaches those who need it and is never used as political leverage."
Dawn Addis was elected to the California State Assembly in 2022 to represent the coastal 30th Assembly District, which includes San Luis Obispo, Monterey, and Santa Cruz Counties. She is the Chair of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee 1 on Health.
