URGENT ACTION: Ask Your House Reps to Sign the Annual Peace Corps Funding Letter

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 04:00:00 GMT

As President Biden has requested an increase in funding for the Peace Corps for Fiscal Year 2025 (which begins next October 1st), it is time to urge your member of the House of Representatives to sign the annual Peace Corps funding "Dear Colleague" letter in support of the president's request.

On March 11th, the president submitted his budget to Capitol Hill which recommends $479 million for the Peace Corps, an eleven percent increase over current spending. RPCV Representative John Garamendi (D-CA) and Representative Garret Graves (R-LA) are circulating a bi-partisan letter, asking colleagues to join them in supporting the president's request.

We only have until 12 Noon on Wednesday, May 1, to get as many members of the House of Representatives to sign the Peace Corps funding letter. Please take action now, and reach out to other friends and supporters of the Peace Corps and ask them to take similar action. Thank you!
