Join advocates from organizations from across the country in a new national campaign to oppose the three-state block grant of the school meal programs contained in the House Child Nutrition Reauthorization bill (H.R. 5003).
The House Child Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR) bill, H.R. 5003, which was voted out of the House Education and the Workforce Committee on May 18th, now includes a three-state block grant proposal for the school meal programs. FRAC and national, state, and local partners are launching an intensive nationwide campaign against these efforts to block grant the school meal programs, or any other child nutrition program, during this reauthorization process.
To be a part of the launch of this campaign – we urge all organizations- national, state or community-based- to take the following actions:
Step 1: Sign your organization onto this statement opposing the block grant provision included in the House CNR bill.
Step 2: Share the statement widely with your national, state, and local partners asking them to sign onto the statement. Our goal is to have 2500 organizations signed on over the next several weeks.
Step 3: Register here for this webinar – National Call to Action – Oppose House Efforts to Block Grant and Weaken the Child Nutrition Programs – on Monday, June 6, 2:30pm- 3:30pm (Eastern Time) to join leaders in the House of Representatives and thousands of organizations in the launch of the campaign and to learn and strategize about upcoming action steps.
