Congress officially approved the $31.7 million funding level for AmeriCorps NCCC. This victory belongs to every person who contacted their representative to demand this support. Keep watching the budget process to ensure this commitment remains firm for the coming year.
To: United States House of Representatives and United States Senate
We the undersigned are petitioning you, as stewards of this nation, to declare your support for the AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) program by ensuring it is funded in FY 2008 at $31.7 million, as recommended by the U.S. Senate. NCCC is a unique AmeriCorps program that provides substantial benefits to America, including providing critical, trained manpower during natural disasters, service in all 50 U.S. states and some U.S. territories, and over one and a half million service hours each year. NCCC is a program that is strongly connected to Franklin D. Roosevelt
We are approaching one thousand signatures and need a final push to force this funding issue onto the floor. Send this link to three people right now and post it to your Facebook feed to keep our momentum high.
November 1, 2007
We just hit a major threshold and the momentum is clearly building toward our funding goals. Post this link on your Facebook page today and email your representative to tell them this program is a priority.

These kids do actual work when disaster hits. Cutting their budget while the country is falling apart makes zero sense.
