AG Campbell announced that she and a coalition of 23 attorneys general and two governors prevailed in preserving funding for AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) agreed to release over $184 million in funding to AmeriCorps service programs across the country. OMB’s attempted cuts threatened the survival of those programs and the well-being of those who depend on them. 

“While I am glad that, faced with our lawsuit, the Trump Administration has rightly decided to release $184 million in critical funding that helps Massachusetts residents serve their communities, the damage that this Administration continues to cause our Commonwealth cannot be undone. AmeriCorps is the epitome of public service and civic engagement, yet the Administration’s reckless actions created chaos, uncertainty, and cost people their jobs, simply for wanting to give back. Our lawsuits are working, and we won’t stop fighting to hold the federal government accountable when they harm our residents.”  – AG Campbell
