Today the Senate Democrats & Senate Republicans confirmed Michael Smith as CEO of AmeriCorps. Thank you President Biden for nominating the right leader at the right time. There’s so much to do. Let’s go Michael Smith #Stand4Service #AmeriCorpsWorks
Congrats The Partnership for American Democracy, led by @diaviv, on launching today as the national nerve center driving attention, energy, and resources to efforts strengthening democracy in America. This work is critical for our country's future. Learn more: pfad.us
Powerful @NYTimes editorial calls for @nationalservice as a new social norm: “a year in which barriers of race, class and income were breached…could help restore a measure of the community, commitment and hope that America cries out for.” nytimes.com/2021/05/01/opi… #AmeriCorpsWorks
The $1 billion for AmeriCorps in #AmericanRescuePlan is historic but the real story will be told by the lives saved and improved: Americans vaccinated, students back on track, families out of hunger, children reaching their potential; stronger communities & a more united nation.
Proud to join Senator Chris Coons, a tireless champion of national service, on Morning Joe this AM to talk about #AmericanRescuePlan investment in AmeriCorps. New $1B will help to mobilize a national tutoring & mentoring effort to address students’ academic & socioemotional needs.
As a former social studies teacher, especially pleased to join 5 other former Secretaries of @USEDgov - @ArneDuncan, Margaret Spellings, @RodPaige, Lamar Alexander, & Richard Riley - in calling for a nat’l commitment to invest in Civics & History Ed Educating For American Democracy wsj.com/articles/ameri…
