We are excited to report that U.S. Sen. Heinrich (NM) and Rep. Lee (PA) are ready to introduce the Revitalizing America's Schoolyards Act (RSYA). The introduction will take place in the first few weeks of April, and communications will go out over the coming weeks. Many of you provided quotes and logos for the bill rollout. Thank you!

Kids and their green schoolyards need your help! We are excited to have sign-ons from 43 states - and would love more from all states. We are hoping to get to all 50 and would love sign-ons from Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah.

Please share this sign-on link with any organization you think might be interested in any state, particularly those seven states. Last call for initial sign-ons is Tuesday, March 31st.

For more information on the Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act (RSYA), please reach out to:
