If passed by the House and signed into law, these changes would allow schools to offer a nutritionally equivalent non-dairy milk option to all students and would require schools to provide a cow’s milk substitute for any student with lactose intolerance!

We appreciate the Senate’s leadership in ensuring equitable access to nutritionally appropriate beverages at school — especially @alsobrooks.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov and Senator Boozman

“More than 300 agribusiness lobbyists occupy the space at Cop30 that should belong to the forest peoples. While they talk about energy transition, they release oil into the Amazon’s basin and privatize rivers like the Tapajós for soy."

Now, more than ever, we need to continue making progress on the state and local level – and we’re fighting for increased protections in Connecticut, Maryland & Colorado.

States need to listen to the science over the exploitative, disinformation-spreading pesticide industry.

This is a massive win that shows why we must listen to science. While federal agencies and policies have dragged their feet, we have turned to the state and local level to push for protection from toxic pesticides.

Neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides have emerged as the most ecologically destructive pesticides since DDT and EPA found that the pesticides are driving 200+ species toward extinction. The EU banned neonic pesticides usage in fields — and now research is showing a meaningful effect in wildlife.

USDA’s food purchasing decisions directly shape what ends up on the plates of millions of children, families, and seniors.

By directing so much spending to just a few large corporations, USDA is missing opportunities to support healthier food and a more diverse, resilient agricultural system.

We’re calling on Target to get toxic pesticides out of its supply chain. And to help make clean organic food affordable and available for all families. All kids deserve safe food.

Target has a policy to reduce the use of harmful chemicals in its products, so why are toxic pesticides associated with harm to human health & biodiversity present in its baby food?

These toxic chemicals do not belong in our food. Especially food for babies. Their brains and bodies are still developing, and even incredibly small exposures to pesticides can have lifelong impacts.
