What an exciting moment to be working on food justice! Change is happening on every front, from the new meal and snack standards in schools, to real progress being made in the fight against junk food marketing to kids. We’re so proud to have such a stellar group of moms working with us on this issue!

So much so, in fact, that we think it’s time to come together, get inspired and plan the next phase of our work. 

We’re bringing together a powerful group of moms, advocates and experts for the first national Good Food Force Meeting in Washington, D.C. November 7-8, and we're looking for food superheroes to join us! Interested? Let us know here: http://action.momsrising.org/survey/GFF_DC_Meeting_RSVP_Survey/

This will be an awesome moment to meet other inspired parents and food activists, learn more about healthy school foods and junk food marketing to kids, and build real skills for making change happen. Participants will leave with a strong sense of what they can do to support healthy kids and communities back at home. Momsrising.org will cover travel, accommodation and food expenses for selected participants.

Please let us know if you’d like to be considered to attend! Space is limited. Indicate your interest here: http://action.momsrising.org/survey/GFF_DC_Meeting_RSVP_Survey/.
