We will never stop fighting for justice. And we will never forget the names, or the stories, of those we lost.

#My Plate - This is your chance to weigh in!

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. Two weeks left! Now is your chance to comment on the proposed rule for local school wellness policies, and help us spread the word. On February 26, 2014, USDA Food and Nutrition Service proposed regulations to create a framework and guidelines for written local school wellness policies. This proposed rule detailed guidelines for what needs to be included in local school wellness policies in areas such as setting goals for nutrition education and physical activity, informing parents about policy content and implementation, and periodically assessing progress and sharing updates as appropriate. Parents, students, representatives of the school food authority, teachers of physical education, school health professionals, the school board, school administrators, and the general public must be permitted to participate in the wellness policy process as a part of the wellness policy team. The proposed rule would also  require Local Educational Agencies (LEAs), as part of the wellness policy, to implement policies for the marketing of foods and beverages on the school campus during the school day that are consistent with the Smart Snacks in Schools nutrition standards. This is your chance to weigh in! USDA is seeking comments on the proposed rule. The formal 60-day comment period is open through April 28, 2014. Feedback from students, parents, school food staff, school administrators, State agencies, and other interested parties is an important part of the rulemaking process. Please help spread the word about this proposed rule and encourage comments through the formal comment process. Read a summary of the proposed rule: http://www.fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/LWPproprulesummary.pdf Find the proposed rule online and the link to comment: http://www.fns.usda.gov/school-meals/local-school-wellness-policy Need resources to help with your wellness policy process? Check out the new School Nutrition Environment and Wellness Resources website!

Yesterday we sent you an email about gun bullies coming to our events and office and trying to scare our staff and volunteers. That's why we started the Beat Back the Bullies fund,with a $5,000 matching grant.  And in one short day, we’re already halfway to our goal. Can you contribute $25, $50 or $100 right now and have it matched by our generous donor? That’s right if you contribute today, a donor has agreed to match your donation. That’s double the impact and double the money. Thanks for all you do, Shira
