Tell President Obama to Include Alcohol in Restaurant Menu Labels
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is in the process of finalizing a new rule on national nutrition labeling standards for restaurant menus. As it stands right now, the new regulations fail to include alcohol among the products for which restaurants must provide nutritional labels. Considering all the health and societal harms associated with alcohol consumption, alcohol must not be left out of the final restaurant labeling requirements.

ALCOPOP-FREE ZONES
Alcopops are heavily flavored, heavily sugared, often high-ABV alcoholic beverages. They are among the most popular first drink for many youth. The Alcopop-Free Zone project used youth representatives to engage the San Rafael Canal community, educate retailers, and get alcopops off of store shelves.
MAT ACCESS
YOUTH ACTION FOR SAFE STORES
Within liquor, grocery, and drug stores, good retail practices can not only make it harder for youth to obtain alcohol, but make youth less interested in drinking. Youth Action for Safe Stores (YASS) develops youth leaders who can evaluate stores' retail practices, engage with business owners, and promote best retail practices throughout San Rafael.

MAT ACCESS
]Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder includes bupernorphine among other medications. It offers the best opportunity for people who use opioids to live long, healthy lives, but only if they have access to it. Geographic, economic, and language barriers further complicate individuals' efforts to obtain this life-saving treatment. The MAT Access Project/Proyecto Latino TAM works to educate the Latinx community of Marin on the dangers of opioids, and promote culturally competent MAT services for those who needs it.
