Sample script:
Hi, my name/organization is _______. I live/work in _______. I’m calling to urge Assemblymember Gonzalez to support AB 1508 (Bonta), the Breakfast After the Bell bill. When students are hungry, they can’t focus and they struggle to learn. That’s why I support targeted State investments that expand the availability of Breakfast After the Bell to ensure that all California students can access the nutritious breakfasts they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
