Target: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, President of the United States, and Members of Congress
Goal: We call on the Department of Health and Human Services, the White House, and Congress to enact meaningful reforms to our food and farming systems, invest in public health, and protect children and families from harmful chemicals and unhealthy foods.
The health of our nation is at a crossroads. Chronic diseases caused by poor diet, chemical exposure, and lack of access to healthy food are on the rise, especially among children. Yet the latest 'Make America Healthy Again' report fails to recommend the transformative policies needed to address these crises. Instead, it calls for further study and public relations campaigns that do little to change the status quo.
Meanwhile, funding for vital nutrition programs has been slashed, and the report sidesteps calls to regulate pesticides, herbicides, and ultraprocessed foods that are harming our communities. Our children deserve better. We demand immediate action to overhaul food and farming policies, prioritize public health, and invest in programs that make healthy food accessible to all.
It is time to put people over profits and ensure that every child and family has access to safe, nutritious food and a healthy environment.
