Rev. Lamar said it best: “let's be clear about the power of the beverage industry… They buy silence while they sell products that literally destroys lives.”

With today's #NutritionEquityAct withdrawal, Big Soda torpedoed vital nutrition programs & once again bought silence

#DYK? Parents and guardians can pick up #DCYouthMeals on behalf of youth age 18 or under and can get up to 3 days’ worth of meals per child. Help us spread the word! Youth and parents can text “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 877-877 to find the closest DC #SummerMeals site today.

More @dailykos on the topic of Pepsi's egregious political giving, which isn't only underwriting voter suppression, but blocking public health policy.

Dear @MurielBowser, SNAP puts money in the pockets of residents AND small businesses. It’s time to #GiveSNAPaRaise. Read our open letter with the Fair Food for All DC Coalition: https://t.co/ynsgU9VpLB @foodbankmetrodc @dcck @foodandfriends @dc_greens @MarthasTableorg

SNAP is a lifeline for 142,000 DC residents AND 425 retailers in our city. It’s time to #GiveSNAPaRaise in the DC budget. Read our open letter with the Fair Food for All DC Coalition: https://t.co/CGR40N82Zl. @foodbankmetrodc @foodandfriends @dc_greens @dchunger @MarthasTableorg

.@ImpactJustice research shows that meals in jail tend to be high in salt, sugar & refined carbs & low in foods like fruits, veg & quality protein - the exact diet we’ve been advised to avoid. Join I/J & @DMMH_DC TODAY @Noon for more about #dcjailfood! https://t.co/0hHPAxfUI7

[DC Greens @dc_greens]

According to @ImpactJustice, prisons & jails are sites of food apartheid: people are prevented from accessing plentiful, nutritious food that contributes to genuine health & well-being. Is #DCjailfood any different?

Join I/J & @DMMH_DC on 5/26 @ Noon.

"We lock people up in my community for selling things that hurt folks. These sugary drinks are no different. This is a conspiracy to commit mass murder. My question to Council: why are these companies allowed to get away with it?" Richard Shivers, @DMMH_DC Ambassador

[DC Greens @dc_greens]

SAVE THE DATE: Next Wednesday, we'll be joining @DMMH_DC and @ImpactJustice on a community conversation about the state of food in DC's jails, explored through first hand accounts of returning citizens.

Don't listen to the lies Big Soda is selling.

The Nutrition Equity Amendment Act would increase food access and nutrition standards for those who are most impacted by food injustice. Text DCNutritionEquity to 46839 to tell Councilmembers to support the bill #NutritionEquityNow

[DC Hunger Solutions @DCHunger]

Attention #DCResidents! @DMMH_DC is hosting an important conversation TONIGHT from 6-7 pm on the Nutrition Equity Amendment Act of 2021. See you there! #NutritionEquityNow #DCFoodJustice @4dcHealth
