Volunteers represent peace, collaboration & friendship across the globe. And a vast majority continue service in their local communities when they return to the U.S. - on PTAs, civic associations, in state legislatures, etc. The need for service, respect & collaboration are more important than ever.

Yesterday, I joined around 170 other National Peace Corps Association advocates on Capitol Hill - urging Congress to at least maintain current funding for the Peace Corps and to honor nearly 250,000 Returned Peace Corps Volunteers with a Congressional Gold Medal.

This action impacts families, small business owners, healthcare workers, teachers, farmers, etc. worldwide. They are people; not numbers on a spreadsheet. And these relationships - the #FacesofForeignAid - with Americans are vital. End the #USAIDShutdown now.

The #USAIDShutdown is real. All #USAID staff worldwide are being put on administrative leave on Friday, funding frozen, programs halted. This off switch is affecting people's lives - American and those globally. Let's make our voices heard today. Restore foreign aid now. For those in DC, join us.

Shutting down #USAID is turning our backs on people around the world. Teachers, medical professionals, farmers, community builders. Partnerships, not isolationism, is the key to progress. #FacesofForeignAid #USAIDShutdown
