As a kid who relied on free and reduced-price lunch at school, I knew universal school meals would be life changing for millions of Minnesotans.
Feeding kids is the smartest way we can invest in the future, and that’s exactly what

Women, who lost more jobs, handled the home education struggles, kept their families as safe from disease as possible and suffered the most from that abusive year.
