Hello 👋

Anne Moertel is a writer, designer, and advocate working at the intersection of health policy and public education. She is the Director of Outreach and Communications at the Center for Ecoliteracy, which successfully advocated for California to become the first state to adopt universal school meals as a co-sponsor of the Free School Meals for All Act. She was featured in the New York Times, “What to Know About California’s Free School Lunch Program.”

Anne is a contributing author to Transforming School Food Politics Around the World (MIT Press) edited by Jennifer Gaddis and Sarah A. Robert, Ph.D.

During the COVID-19 crisis, Anne led communications at the San Francisco Unified School District on safe and equitable food access. She was named a Changemaker by the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Civic Innovation, and her essay “The U.S. Needs Universal School Meals—Now” appears in Womanly Magazine. 

Previously, Anne served as Creative Director for Healthy Schools Campaign. She holds a BFA in visual communications from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and lives with her husband and daughter in the Bay Area.
