Americorps funding terminated
On April 25th, the Trump administration sent grant termination notices to 1000 Americorps programs across the nation. This action upended members’ career paths, from folks working in schools with City Year, to building much-needed housing with Habitat for Humanity (including our friends in Pittsfield), to our Greenagers crew–stewarding public lands, teaching in public schools, honing their skills in service toward careers in science, trades, education, and community building. Last Friday, yet again, our government turned its back on over 30,000 people working toward a more perfect union.
