Dear Appleseed Family,

We are over-the-top excited about what is happening in Congress with Appleseed’s two federal bills to end lunch shaming and improve tribal nutrition programs.

Below is a video of Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández speaking earlier this week about these bills in the Civil Rights and Human Services Subcommittee hearing with the USDA.

Policies like these create an environment that children need to thrive—every child is filled with tremendous promise and we have a shared obligation to foster their potential. Let's keep working together to build a stronger foundation for our children!

Thank you as always,

Jenny and the board and staff of New Mexico Appleseed
