Write to these 4 key representatives: invest in the Child Nutrition Reauthorization

[Adriana Velez]

Brooklyn Food Coalition is working with other organizations and individuals in New York City to push for specific changes in the Child Nutrition Act.

These changes will improve federal child nutrition programs so that they can feed more children and provide more nutritious food.

• Letter to Senator Gillibrand
• Letter to Congresswoman Clarke

NYC is lucky to have FOUR representatives in Congress with tremendous power to influence the Child Nutrition Reauthorization. We have two messages for them:

1. Senator Schumer: Use your position on the Senate Finance Committee to ensure a significant financial investment in the Child Nutrition Reauthorization bill.
2. Congressman Rangel: Use your position as Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee to ensure a significant financial investment in the Child Nutrition Reauthorization bill.
3. Senator Gillibrand: Use your position on the Senate Agriculture Committee to ensure that the Child Nutrition Reauthorization addresses our stated goals.
4. Representative Clarke: Use your position on the House Education and Labor Committee to ensure that the Child Nutrition Reauthorization addresses our stated goals.

YOU can communicate any or all of these messages. Do what you can! If you have a relationship with one of these members, or are located in their district, target your communication to
that member.
