What happened and what's next
A couple weeks ago America decided that yes, we can.
Now, students across the country have decided that yes, we can...change the food system.
This past month, thousands of students united for real food. They held eat-ins, farmers' markets, and round-table discussions; they filled administrators' offices with 'real food' and held rallies outside the offices of fast food giants. Students broke ground on new gardens and real food cafes, all to generate support in their communities and educate their peers on the importance of real food.
There were over 200 events held across the country, and over 300 schools are now connected to the network! We have sent student and youth leaders across the country and internationally to build our networks and strengthen the roots...
...and we ain't done yet!

What's next?
We're stepping up our organizing for real food. Together we're going to make sure that all of our colleges and universities commit to being a proactive player in a real food economy. Get in touch with a real food organizer near you to get the ball rolling.
ALSO:
Regional summits are coming your way! There will be five regional summits, all scheduled for February or March...stay tuned for more details!
