But it is only one step in the months-long appropriations process.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>We need to stay vigilant and engaged to support no less than the president's request of level funding for the Peace Corps.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div> <div><strong>This action allows you to edit and personalize your message.
