Use Your Voice

Speak with your elected officials and community leaders about why every child deserves access to nutritious food.

When people understand, they care. When they care, they act. Look up elected officials in your area, and tell them to support consistent access to healthy food for children and families:

Find your federal, state and local representatives.  
Look up your members of Congress.  
Find your state senator and representative.  
Find local voting information and districts.  

Each day is a chance to advocate for local children. Practice advocacy in the small moments that make up your day. Start conversations, clear up harmful misconceptions and share stories that inspire you.
