Take action
Use your voice for WIC
We support bills in Congress and in New York State. Wherever you live, it only takes a few minutes to tell lawmakers why WIC matters.
Where you live matters
Two ways to take action
Our action center finds your officials from your home address, and it works for New York addresses only. Supporters in other states can use the National WIC Association's action center for national bills.
New York residents
Send a ready-to-go message to your members of Congress and your New York State legislators. You can add your own words before you send it.
Outside New York
You can still support national WIC bills. The National WIC Association's action center connects you with your own members of Congress in any state.
Share your story
