Stop Unhealthy Sugary Drinks from Hooking Our Kids

Big Soda has a good thing going. And they want to keep it that way.

But the facts on sugary drinks are simple -- they pose significant health risks. Sugary drinks dramatically increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Kids especially are drinking too many of them – as much as 10x the recommended amount.

They are taking a toll on our health and the economy. But change is possible.

A growing number of places across the country have adopted taxes on sugary drinks. These taxes raise much-needed revenue for important priorities, and research shows that they also reduce consumption. But continued progress will only be possible with engaged advocates like you.

Sugary drink taxes can be a win for kids, a win for families, and a win for better health. Let's make it happen across the country.

Sign the petition and let your state and local leaders know you care about healthy kids and support taxes on sugary drinks.
