We applaud @GovTimWalz and the MN legislature for passing School Meals For All.
New York, it's our turn. Millions of kids are going hungry across the state. We can do something about it.
Tell Albany: Fund #Meals4AllNY

✅ This just in: CT Legislators have voted YES so that our kids can eat at no-cost for the rest of this school year. We still have work to do to make sure our students can have this permanently. Join us: schoolmeals4allct.org

At the state level, the growing fight to secure free meals for all public school students got a major boost last week with an infusion of cash from Tusk Philanthropies’ Solving Hunger. More in this week's #thefieldreport. buff.ly/3HCepix

The federal government this month ended one of the last big remaining pieces of pandemic aid: Universal free school meals.
A thread about what this means, both politically and for millions of families >>

I was a free lunch kid myself. I know how important the free lunch program is in this country, which is why I’m so proud that the Senate advanced the Universal School Meals Bill S. 100 unanimously today. I felt moved to tell my story on the Senate floor. Sharing it here, too.

Thank you to the legislators, activists, students, and ALL community members who came out today in support of S.100!
You made your voice clear, NO student should learn what hunger feels like at school.
Stay tuned for next steps - we’re going to make this happen VT! #FeedVTKids

A key RAD food justice priority, the Universal School Meals bill, is moving! S.100 will ensure all VT students have access to free meals, regardless of income. It takes all of us to get this across the finish line. Sign a supporter card via @HungerFreeVT ! universalschoolmealsvt.org/s…

Access to food shouldn’t get a summer break — we’ve got to keep these kids fed 💪 Click over to take action now with @nokidhungry
The #childnutrition waivers offered communities the flexibility needed to ensure kids didn’t go to bed hungry. Currently set to expire this summer, the hungriest time of year, summer meal sites may not be able to run without these waivers. Take Action Now: bit.ly/3Cr1efG

"Our gaping racial wealth gap...is a result of public policies, not...personal choice. We all want to send our kids to good schools, not worry about paying for the next meal and take an occasional vacation. But only one New Jersey has that experience." @NJ_ISJ @almcchristian

"How can you focus on carrying out the mission and defending our democracy, if you’re worried about whether or not your kid gets dinner tonight?" Long-term food insecurity has extended into every aspect of American life, including the military.

Almost NINE MILLION MORE kids would get free school meals if Congress makes good on its promise to expand the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) in its reconciliation bill.
