The Trump administration must restore hundreds of millions of dollars in #AmeriCorps grant funding and thousands of service workers in about two dozen states, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman granted a temporary block on the agency’s cancellation of grants and early discharge of corps members,
but only for the states that sued the administration in April.
The federal lawsuit, filed by Democratic state officials across the country, accused Donald Trump’s cost-cutting efforts through the Department of Government Efficiency of
reneging on grants funded through the AmeriCorps State and National program, which was budgeted $557 million in congressionally approved funding this year.

Donald’s move to gut #AmeriCorps shoved 24 states into chaos and booted 30k volunteers from vital service. A judge’s injunction exposed MAGA’s contempt for the community and the rot devouring democracy www.rawstory.com/ame...

US District Judge Deborah Boardman in Baltimore issued an injunction at the behest of those states & DC who argued #Trump's admin is unlawfully dismantling #AmeriCorps.
She concluded that the abrupt cuts, without notice/comment period, violated the #law.

See I'm the 180° flipside of cutting #AmeriCorps and #JobCorps, I want them fully funded and provide similar benefits as the military 🤓

Really hoping the education award is still intact for the next two years of my time at #TeachForAmerica because that is like one of the bigger reasons for me doing this program.

Trump’s gutting of AmeriCorps funding isn’t just a policy failure – it’s an attack on the heart of community service. These cuts jeopardize critical programs that help our most vulnerable. We won’t forget the damage done. #AmeriCorps #Resist #CommunityMatters www.cbsnews.com/news/americo...

#Trump’s #budget calls for an elimination of the federal agency known as #AmeriCorps, whose funding for nationwide #CommunityService programs had already been slashed & its staff sent home.
Also on the list of agencies to be eliminated, which the admin said will “reduce *waste* & reduce unnecessary governmental entities,” are several small govt institutions that have been effectively gutted by #Musk’s #DOGE, including the US Institute of #Peace [#USIP] & the #Smithsonian’s Woodrow Wilson Center. -

California, other states sue Trump administration to block cuts to #AmeriCorps,
the federal program that each year deploys hundreds of thousands of volunteers to natural disaster sites and other needy communities nationwide,California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said
the Trump administration and its Department of Government Efficiency were acting unlawfully
by unilaterally axing a program established and funded by Congress
to support devastated parts of the country at their greatest time of need,
such as Los Angeles after its recent wildfires.“By abruptly canceling critical grants and gutting AmeriCorps’ workforce and volunteers,
DOGE is dismantling AmeriCorps without any concern for the thousands of people who are ready and eager to serve their country
— or for those whose communities are stronger because of this public service,” Bonta said in a statement.“California has repeatedly taken action to hold the Trump administration and DOGE accountable to the law, and we stand prepared to do it again to protect AmeriCorps and the vital services it provides.”

#ElonMusk’s #DOGE has ordered #AmeriCorps to terminate close to $400M in #grants — roughly 41% of the national service agency’s total funding for 2025, acc/to 3 people….
It’s the latest in a series of blows to the org, which deploys thousands of young people to work on #CommunityService projects across the US. The decision to eliminate millions of dollars in grants affects 1,031 orgs, & 32,465 AmeriCorps members & senior volunteers, the people said.#Trump #coup

There are two AmeriCorps members in MA that need housing. One is in the Boston area and has a cat, the other is in Springfield and would need to be picked up. There are other folks in the network trying to find solutions for these two (and there will be more), but if there's anyone who has space for a person and a feline, or is closer to Western MA, folks need your help.

I am an AmeriCorps NCCC alum, and while I have very mixed feelings about my time with the program, AmeriCorps just got DOGEd and there are young folks who just wanted to serve who need our help. I had the misfortune of being in the class of 2013, when the government shut down, delaying our start by weeks, and possibly completely canceling that service year entirely. I was homeless. I was very lucky, and had folks I could couch surf with, and managed to get through it just fine, but the anxiety of having a program I gave up my living situation for falling through like that has stayed with me.
The NCCC class of 2025 were in the program already when the rug got pulled out from under them. If you are an AmeriCorps Alum, check whatever network space you might have with past programs and teammates, and you will likely find links and forms for helping connect you to a current corps-member who needs aid. If you don't have access, let me know and I will privately send you a link.
The 18-26 year olds who join this group do it because they think they have the ability to be a force for good in the world. AmeriCorps does not have the same pull or benefits of military service, these are kids who largely believe in the mission. Help these kids, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because they represent, more than most, the spark of hope we need in this world, and right now that needs to be protected.
