http:https://www.congressweb.com/npca Thu, 22 May 2025 11:14:31 GMT http:https://www.congressweb.com/npca/116 <div>With the just concluded mobilization supporting an important House Peace Corps <a href="https://www.peacecorpsconnect.org/house-peace-corps-funding-letter-2025/" target="_blank">funding letter</a>, we now turn to the Senate, where Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) is circulating a similar letter in the Senate.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><strong>Please take action now! That's because we only have until 5 PM (ET) Wednesday, May 21st, for your Senators to sign.</strong> Like the House letter, the Senate letter will request an&nbsp;<u>increase</u>&nbsp;in funding for the agency, from current funding of $430.5 million, to $479 million.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Forty Senators signed last year's Peace Corps funding letter. Let's try to get close to that mark. Let's get busy!</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><strong>This action allows you to edit and personalize your message. We encourage you to take an extra minute or two to write a sentence (or two) about your service, and how the Peace Corps makes our country safer, stronger, and/or more prosperous.</strong></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>If you are using this letter writing service for the first time, be aware that the name of your lawmaker, and your name and address, will be automatically added when you send your message.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><em>Please note that available prefix and length of letters to members of Congress are determined by Congress.</em></div> Fri, 16 May 2025 04:00:00 GMT http:https://www.congressweb.com/npca/116
