Kids who are hungry aren’t going to be able to learn. There’s a reason many states are passing universal free meals programs.

A neighbor of mine manages food services for a big high school in my area. She’s told me these programs change kids’ lives.

Republicans are plainly against anything good, and especially, ironically, against kids.

Republicans Declare Banning Universal Free School Meals a 2024 Priority

As states across the country move to make sure students are well fed, Republicans have announced their intention to fight back.

@TonyStark I had undiagnosed hypoglycemia. I couldn't afford to eat breakfast at home and I lived so far away, by the time my bus got to school I could not have free breakfast without being late. I always performed significantly worse in those classes. My afternoon classes were my favorite because I could actually understand and comprehend the material. Free lunch saved my life, and free breakfast could have saved my grades.
