Take Action

Action alerts allow us to bring the Academy’s policy issues to the attention of members of Congress and help to raise awareness and add legitimacy to a particular priority issue. Academy members work on a broad range of issues, improving communities' nutrition and health status in the U.S. and worldwide.

There are many ways to advocate for strong nutrition and health policy right from your home state. Use these resources to ensure that your elected officials in Washington, D.C. know your views as both a constituent and an expert.
