Call for Letters to Support the Peace Corps

March 30, 2020

Peace Corps volunteers were pulled from their sites and returned to the US to find that they had been dismissed from the Peace Corps in such a way that they could not claim unemployment, received no benefits or support for their settling in or relocation, and are not even continuing to receive their stipends.

The National Peace Corps Association is trying to write 100,000 letters to Congress in support of providing funding for Peace Corps, including for returnees’ resettlement upon return. Please consider following this link and writing a letter. 

Here’s the link for filling out a form that generates a letter to representatives for those interested in writing a letter:
