In Rhode Island, @americorps.bsky.social serves schools, health centers, food banks, Veterans facilities and countless other organizations.But Trump just shut it down.Just another shameful display of how he doesn’t value public service.

Hearing the same from a direct source. People in Americorps being told they're done. It's over. No notice.

To be clear, there is bipartisan opposition to cutting AmeriCorps. Just last week, Reps. Bacon and Fitzpatrick joined @dorismatsui.bsky.social and me in supporting AmeriCorps and reminding Trump that public service is one of the greatest American values.

More DOGE cut madness being confirmed. Here's a background article on what the loss of AmeriCorps will mean: youthtoday.org/2025/03/endi…There's also an active Reddit AmeriCorps (National Civilian Community Corps) group discussing the cut:www.reddit.com/r/AmeriCorps…
