In a significant backlash against the Trump administration, over two dozen states are filing lawsuits to challenge the recent cuts to AmeriCorps funding, which have resulted in the termination of numerous programs and the dismissal of staff across the country. These cuts, which include a $400 million halt in grants, threaten essential services and volunteer initiatives that support communities, particularly in states like California, Wisconsin, and Colorado. Governors and attorneys general from various states have banded together, arguing that the reductions are a devastating blow to national service programs, and they are calling for immediate action to restore funding and support local organizations impacted by these sudden financial changes.
