SPECIAL EVENT NOTICE

Healthy Kids’ Meals Campaign  ADVOCACY WEEK

Please join the Cleveland Healthy Kids’ Meals Campaign for a virtual rally with Blaine Griffin, Cleveland City Council member and Chairman of the Health & Human Service Committee. You can also stay engaged throughout the week with fun, family-friendly activities that will help keep us informed and healthier.   The healthy default drinks policy will make kids’ meals at Cleveland restaurants healthier by ensuring that water, milk and/or 100% juice are offered as default drinks, not sugary drinks that pose a health risk to our kids. The legislation will be considered soon in City Council, and NLC Class 1 graduate Blaine Griffin will be there to discuss the policy with us.

Bring your lunch and join us for a half-hour virtual pep rally, where we'll share more about efforts to make kids' meals healthier in Cleveland. TUESDAY MAY 26 at 12:00 PM

Participate by thanking them too!) THURSDAY MAY 28 Social Media and more! We'll provide everything you need to easily email or tweet your lawmaker--or even write a letter-to-the-editor.
