As kids are starting to head back to school this fall, let’s continue to advocate for dairy free schools!! 
As of July 2024, the USDA STILL incentivizes the serving of cow milk to children in schools via the Special milk program (SMP).
This program is harmful not just to the cows that the milk is taken from, but also the environment and the health of school children across the US.
Visit our website to learn how to advocate against the SMP!

Let’s explore the differences of adopting vs shopping!
Bring Rabbi Shmuly to your community for a debate! 

The goal of this one hour long program is to have a conversation focused on learning, inspiring, and debating food ethics in a respectful and informative way. Even though this is a debate, it is a friendly debate in which we stay light-hearted, and curiosity is encouraged.
