Americorps helped return $83 million to working class Americans through their tax return assistance program. Weird how the Trump admin cut the program that helped poor people pay fewer taxes, while bending over backwards to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. Very populist.

Volunteers? Wherefore art thou AmeriCorps, Job Corps, SCA, etc etc. Or our seasonal workforce, for that matter. Don’t get me wrong— all for volunteers, and we need their contributions now more than ever. Just pointing out the smaller pool of *paid* labor available to us due to Trump/Elon.

AmeriCorps is a quintessential American program. It gets important things done for NH every single day—from our public schools to our parks to the homes of seniors across our state. We are in a fight to protect AmeriCorps and I will not rest until every penny promised to NH is delivered.
