You don’t need to be a policy expert to be a powerful advocate for school meals—legislators want to hear from you, and your personal stories can make a powerful impact when you share them. With a new administration and SNA’s Legislative Action Conference (LAC) right around the corner, now is the time to make sure the lawmakers whose policies directly impact school nutrition understand how important your programs are.

Learn why advocacy works and how you can make a difference no matter what level of political knowledge or prior advocacy experience you have.
