Make the Call to Save Service!!



On Tuesday, March 15, we are mobilizing our extended network of friends, partners and service supporters to Make the Call to Save Service in America! Please join us by visiting www.saveservice.org to pledge to call both of your U.S. Senators and to encourage your friends and colleagues to do the same.

Just two weeks ago, Save Service District Day grabbed the attention of Members of Congress across the country. On March 15th, let your Senators know that we are not giving up or going away by overwhelming their offices with phone calls asking them to Save Service in America.

On February 19, in the early morning hours, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would shut down the Corporation for National and Community Service and eliminate AmeriCorps, Learn & Serve, Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions and the other service programs. Congress must now reach a budget compromise by March 18th. The question is: will the compromise include funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service?

You make the call.

Please visit www.saveservice.org to pledge to participate on March 15th and to join thousands of Americans across the country as we call on the Senate to save service.
