be a regional campaign organizer!
Help keep free, healthy meals in schools! Let’s pass Propositions LL & MM together. The legislation that provides free school meals for all students is set to expire unless these measures pass. They will also secure additional funding for schools to purchase healthy local food, increase wages for school dining staff, and a portion of funding will be used to help keep SNAP in place following the federal budget cuts.

Could you organize our regional campaign for this effort?
