#DYK that Congress is debating cuts to AmeriCorps? As many as 61K positions could be eliminated! I participated in this virtual day of action led by Voices for National Service Service Year States for Service & asked my lawmakers to #Stand4Service . It’s easy.

Thank you Senator Jack Reed Senator Todd Young for your leadership and support for AmeriCorps. Your legislation will make #nationalservice more accessible to more Americans.
