There will be no links to specific organizations here. The same instinct that led you to AmeriCorps will help you find the movement that’s right for you — but do not act alone, because only together can we serve.

In San Francisco and Santa Fe, there has been a lawsuit filed against AmeriCorps for withholding funding from programs that do not comply with Executive Orders and policies coming from the President.
