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.
