This May Day, we’re thinking of how many people’s lives were upended by DOGE’s cuts to AmeriCorps funding. One AmeriCorps focus area is “economic opportunity,” which connects Americans across the country with secure employment and improved economic security. This May Day, we’re ready to fight back.

Delaware joins the list of states to sue the Trump administration over #AmeriCorpsGrantCuts. With 200+ service sites statewide, AmeriCorps programs in Delaware brought in more than $2.4 million last year from local businesses, foundations, and public agencies — these cuts put all of that at risk!

The Trump administration has halted $1 billion in funding for mental health services for children, claiming that the programs, which were established under a bipartisan law aimed at curbing gun violence in schools, are no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

States across the country are coming together to fight DOGE against these harmful cuts that only serve to disrupt meaningful progress in American communities that need it the most. AmeriCorps impact isn’t just about dollars; it’s about people, purpose, & the power of service to transform lives.

When America loses AmeriCorps, it loses hundreds of thousands of incredible people and millions of service hours dedicated to addressing the most pressing needs in communities nationwide. Cutting AmeriCorps will have dire consequences felt by all. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The smear campaign against AmeriCorps has begun. But we won’t forget the truth: ARP funds helped launch critical initiatives like Forest Corps and Public Health AmeriCorps, programs that directly tackled urgent national challenges—climate change and COVID-19. nypost.com/2025/04/24/u...

How much of the US federal budget is allocated to AmeriCorps? 0.02% of the 13-digit budget goes to AmeriCorps. Every dollar invested turns into over $17 in economic and community benefits. But we guess DOGE considers that fraud, waste, and abuse.

Yesterday, DOGE ordered AmeriCorps to end nearly $400 million in grants, approximately 41% of all agency funds. These cuts will impact more than 1,000 organizations and 32,000 AmeriCorps members and volunteers, limiting necessary resources and people power to communities across the country.

“Happy Thursday. Please disregard the recent Offboarding Exit Criteria notices that many of you have received recently,” is the email that staff members received Thursday morning after two identical emails were sent out Wednesday evening about agency exit clearance. 🧵

The #RIF carried out by #DOGE against #AmeriCorps employees is a national disgrace. Mishandling these notices—including sending them to the wrong individuals and exposing the personal information of fellow employees—is not just careless, it’s unacceptable. Our federal workforce deserves better.

🛑 For today's call to action: The Trump admin is expanding Schedule F. This could strip civil service protections from thousands of federal workers, including scientists—replacing them with Trump loyalists. 🗓️ Public comment's still open—have at it! 🔗 www.regulations.gov/document/OPM...

Cruelty is the point. I served as a VISTA in NOLA after Katrina working along side many NCCC teams. An incredible amount of work completed for pennies on the $. I’m sure many of them went on to careers in service to community. This is not about efficiency. bsky.app/profile/alta...

Ever wonder how a Federal Agency is completing these mass layoffs? Look no further than #AmeriCorps. Early this morning, hundreds of AmeriCorps employees, received #RiF (Reduction in Force) notifications addressed to other staff members, sharing a significant amount of personal information.

Grateful to Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA-07) for fighting to protect #nationalservice by introducing the Protect National Service Act—a bold step to prohibit federal dollars from being used to dismantle AmeriCorps' mission or core programs. matsui.house.gov/media/press-...

Introducing Alternative AmeriCorps: a growing movement of staff, volunteers, and supporters who stand united in defense of national service. We're fighting back against unelected billionaires and modern-day robber barons as they attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps and erase three decades of progress.

DOGE's assault on AmeriCorps is more than just a federal issue. They're punching a hole in every layer of our society to make a headline. Gouging their way to a $150B quota, they're targeting one of the most efficient uses of taxpayer dollars. www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2025/04/my-r...

This is the first week since nearly all of #AmeriCorps staff was placed on administrative leave. There is no end in sight - and there's no indication of which AmeriCorps program will be shut down next. Keep #AmeriCorpsVISTA, #AmeriCorpsStateandNational, and #AmeriCorpsSeniors in your thoughts.
