ACTION: With a deadline of April 27, we need swift, steady action to urge your Senators to sign the annual Peace Corps funding letter.
We have less than one week to ask Senators to sign the funding letter, which was authored this year by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ).
The request is $479 million for the Peace Corps in Fiscal Year 2027—an increase from the current funding level of $410 million. The $479 million request is equal to the recommendation made for last fiscal year and matches this cycle’s House of Representatives request authored by Representative John Garamendi (D-CA and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer) and Delegate Amata Radewagen (R-American Samoa) that garnered 121 signatures.
