Help ensure that the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act assures healthy food choices

Sign the Petition


Child Nutrition Act Reauthorization

Help ensure that the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act assures healthy food choices in schools by signing this petition.

"We believe that federally funded nutrition programs should provide all children with the healthy food they deserve. This includes low fat and safe dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Schools should be soda and junk-food-free zones and serve food that complements and furthers parents' efforts to feed their children healthfully."

On June 24 a broad coalition of Main Street Moms, Activist Moms and NGOs, along with actresses Deidre Hall (Days of Our Lives) and Andrea Bowen (Desperate Housewives) traveled to Washington, D.C. to urge Congress to support healthy food choices in our nation's schools.

These moms delivered over 50,000 petition signatures to Congress - signatures from our website, hard copy signatures secured by NGO partners and signatures obtained by our online partner Mom's Rising! To view pictures, video and learn more about the advocacy day, click here.

Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition or called their representatives, the advocacy day was a huge success! Please continue to encourage people to sign the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act so we can deliver this to Congress for its vote end of July.
