Thank Congress

Dear Service Nation friends,

Join ServiceNation as we thank Congress for passing the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. This landmark legislation will bring new resources for national and community service across the country.

 

Please add your name to our Thank You Letter, which will be presented to the entire US Congress.

 

Dear Congress,

On behalf of the thousands of people who will no longer be turned away from the doors of service and the millions who will benefit from their efforts, we would like to thank you for your support of the Serve America and GIVE Acts.  
 
This bi-partisan legislation to expand national and community service opportunities provides opportunities for Americans to serve at every life stage and demonstrates your belief in the true power and potential of service to solve some of our society’s most pressing problems.

From tutoring students in Los Angeles and building green homes in Baltimore, to responding to disasters such as the current floods in North Dakota and Minnesota, to points in between, service members have tirelessly worked to build the foundations of their communities and have become a key element of our democracy. 

Thank you for coming together across party lines to pass this bi-partisan legislation.  Your collaboration and cooperation is at the core of the service movement and demonstrates that we are ready to move our country's national and community service programs forward in a powerful way.  This is truly a product of both parties.

We greatly appreciate your tremendous leadership on this historic legislation and look forward to serving in our communities. 

 
Your partners in service,
