AmeriCorps is stronger than a DOGE termination letter.

As a new #AmeriCorps program year kicks off, we're feeling so inspired by the hundreds of organizations accepting grants -- stepping up not just to strengthen communities, but to strengthen and save AmeriCorps by doing so.

We're stronger than a #DOGE termination letter. #nationalservice

Really appreciate your public support for #AmeriCorps and #nationalservice, @mayorq.bsky.social
