School, Kids, Meals, and Justice: What You Can Do to Create Positive Change Within the System

September 17, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

Free

In this class, participants will discuss the meals offered to children in schools and how to create positive change within the system. We will work together to identify key opportunities and stakeholders within schools and discuss the challenges of moving programs forward. Class participants will learn how to push back against recently proposed changes to school nutrition regulations – the Trump administration’s so-called “roll backs.” Parents, educators, and concerned community members will engage in meaningful discussion about teaching through the lens of school meals as crucial resources for children, especially those who are low income and/or experiencing food insecurity.
