Our kids deserve organic school lunches! #SafeSchoolMeals >> Tell your U.S. Representative and Senators to cosponsor S. 5084, which increases the funding available for schools to purchase safe school meals and expands funding for the Organic Certification Cost-Share Program to compensate organic farmers. 

Although S. 5084 does not require #organic school meals, #SafeSchoolMeals will provide a strong incentive for #schools to buy #organicfood & open new markets while making certification affordable for #organic #farmers. #TakeAction #cosponsor @CoryBooker
