Take Action: Memorializing Peace Corps Service Act

Tue, 10 Nov 2026 05:00:00 GMT

A bipartisan Act was introduced in the Senate (S.5691) on November 9, 2026 by Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Mike Rounds (R-SD). The bill would allow the official Peace Corps seal, emblem, logo, and name to be used on death announcements, gravestones, plaques, and other grave markers for anyone who served as a Peace Corps Volunteer or staff member. Under current law, this kind of memorial use isn’t permitted, and families are unable to honor a loved one’s Peace Corps service in this lasting way.

We are calling on all Senators to cosponsor the bill to honor all who have served.

For the Senators who have already signed on, be sure to thank them for their support. For those who have not yet done so, ask them to cosponsor today. If there is enough support, we could see the bill move forward in committee and to the Senate floor. Let’s make it happen!

ACTION 2 of 2: 2026 Senate Concurrent Congressional Resolution

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

A bipartisan Congressional Resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives (H.Con.Res.119) on September 22, 2026. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) have now introduced a concurrent resolution (S.Res.872). The concurrent resolutions celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Peace Corps and honor the nearly 250,000 Volunteers and staff who have served in more than 144 countries globally.

We are calling on all Senators to sign on to the resolution to honor all who have served.

For the Senators who have already signed on, be sure to thank them for their support. For those who have not yet done so, ask them to support today. If there is enough support, we could see the concurrent resolutions brought to the House and Senate floors. Let's make it happen!
