Let’s Move Cities and Towns is designed to encourage mayors and elected officials to adopt a long-term, sustainable, and holistic approach to fight childhood obesity. This initiative recognizes that every city is different, and every town will require a distinct approach to the issue. Once an elected official signs up as a prospective Let’s Move City or a Let’s Move Town, he or she will choose at least one significant action to take over the following twelve months in each of the four pillar areas:

  1. Help Parents Make Healthy Family Choices
  2. Create Healthy Schools
  3. Provide Access to Healthy and Affordable Food
  4. Promote Physical Activity
