We’re told to watch what we eat. It’s time to watch who’s writing the rules. 👀

I’m heading to Washington, D.C., to speak at @environmentalworkinggroup’s TOXICS OFF THE TABLE! rally—and I’m asking you to stand with us. 💚

The proposed FRESH Act could wipe out state food-safety protections—including safeguards covering PFAS “forever chemicals” in food packaging, artificial dyes in school meals, and heavy metals in baby food.

There’s nothing fresh about rolling back protections.

I believe in taking care of our bodies. I also believe families shouldn’t have to navigate a weaker safety system to do it. Safer food should be a basic expectation—not a luxury.

D.C., Maryland, Virginia: come through. Bring a friend. Bring your voice. Let’s show Congress that protecting our food matters to the people who eat it.

Can’t be there? Share this post and tell your representative: OPPOSE THE FRESH ACT. PROTECT STATE FOOD-SAFETY LAWS.

Tag someone who can meet us there. Our health is not negotiable. ✊🏿💚
