What’s the “summer slide?” It happens when kids return to school a few months behind in reading and math than their classmates. For many kids, it happens because of hunger. The good news is that we can help fight it! Find out how: https://t.co/Lh6f5bLlCv
THANK YOU to all the hunger heroes out there - school nutrition professionals, bus drivers, educators, maintenance teams, principals, volunteers, and so many more - who are making sure that kids don't go hungry during school closures. You really are superheros! #ThankAHungerHero
Natl. School Breakfast Week: Millions of kids in the U.S. face the school day on an empty stomach, but hungry kids can't focus, can’t learn and can’t reach their full potential. That’s why we’ve teamed up with @NoKidHungry. Learn more: https://t.co/eALLgEN27f #PoweredByBreakfast

Husband sure does know how to make me feel better when I’m under the weather.
A warm 🔥 and ☕️ of tea in my favorite @nokidhungry mug (designed by the one and only @KristenBell). Can’t see him in the photo, but the pup is curled up at my feet too.
Still out recovering but grateful to my #LeagueofLeaders for stepping up to fill the void. @RWJBarnabas’s SVP for Policy & Government Affairs Sarah Lechner talking about the need to see #SeeAlice@RWJF w/@United4ALICE is as brilliant as she is compassionate #SDOH#policy
Thank you, @GovMLG! Ending childhood hunger in NM, and across the country, is only possible with the support and vision of incredible leaders like you!

Listening to @GovMLG describe the importance of collaboration and friendly competition in the West to achieve mutual goals. TY for your commitment to end child hunger in NM! @westgov#nokidhungry
“I don’t understand why we go through wars and hate and political fights when people are on the whole GOOD.”
Thanks for reminding us of our common goodness, @chefjoseandres.
Great day to be advocating to make sure there is #nokidhungry, especially in the summer!
1 in 7 kids in America live in food insecure households and the current summer meals model only reaches 15-17% of the kids in need during the summer months.
We can and must do better!
Losing a giant w/ such a powerful voice, profound courage and unmatched honor is a gut punch that makes justice feel so far out of reach.
But to truly honor @RepCummings, we must marshal our own voices and courage to continue his life’s work. #RestInPower, we won’t let you down.
The recognition of the political nature of health & appreciation of the political determinants of health are key to better understanding despair & health inequality, as well as our shared responsibility to ensure the conditions under which people can enjoy hope & health equity.
***A note for my non-health care friends***
This guide can also help you be a better ally/leader. No matter the industry or situation, intentionally embracing diverse thought and experience leads to better decisions and results.
It also happens to be the right thing to do.
Building diversity of thought requires intentional action and consistent reflection.
TY @MichelleneEsq for showing us the concrete steps necessary to be a true ally. https://t.co/nXgTpY1trB
