National Service at Risk
From the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits:
House Considers Elimination of Critical Resource for Nonprofits
National service is a fundamental and valuable resource helping hundreds of Arizona nonprofits through placement of full- and part-time AmeriCorps, VISTA, Conservation Corps, Learn and Serve, and Experience Corps members who provide countless hours of service in our communities. For the past few weeks, the U.S. House of Representatives has been deliberating on a bill that would eliminate the Corporation for National & Community Service, which is the home for national service programs.
The Save Service Coalition is spearheading a national letter to members of the House urging them to reject the plan. More than 70,000 nonprofits nationwide benefit from national service programs. This program leverages nearly $1 billion in private philanthropy for our nonprofit community. And it is a critical path of service and learning for 80,000 service members. Sign on to the national letter urging the House to retain funding for the Corporation for National & Community Service.

Petition to Raise the Profile of Effective Drug Prevention
From the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA):
President Obama has given YOU a very unique opportunity to have a real voice in shaping U.S. policy through his recently launched “We the People” website, which allows petitions to be posted about various issues of importance. CADCA has posted a petition to raise the profile of effective drug prevention, generally, and the DFC program, specifically on this website. If we can get 25,000 people to sign on to it within 30 days, then President Obama has committed that his cabinet will discuss our issue. Given that drug use is increasing, Americans are receiving mixed messages, and perceptions of harm and disapproval are being eroded, we need to send our message to President Obama and his Administration. Those pushing for “medical marijuana” and legalization initiatives have already posted many petitions and have collected more than 80,000 combined signatures. Therefore, this is a huge opportunity to ensure that the Administration understands that drug prevention is critical! As a result, CADCA is challenging each of its members to get at least 100 people to sign the petition within the next 30 days.
ACTION STEPS TO BE TAKEN
Viewing and signing on to the petition is easy, and takes less than 1 minute – all you have to do is:
1. Click here.
2. Login or Create a username and password
3. Click ‘Sign Petition’
Getting 100 people to sign on is easy:
* Ask your coalition members and volunteers to sign on
* Get your local youth advocates involved
* Post on your Facebook and Twitter accounts
* Post link and instructions on the homepage of your coalition’s website
Thank you in advance for taking the time to sign this petition, and for disseminating this broadly to your networks so that we can achieve a minimum of 25,000 signatures! If we all make this a priority, we can secure many more than the 25,000 signatures.
If you have any questions about the petition, please contact Kelly Lieupo, Director of Public Policy, at klieupo@cadca.org.
Sincerely,
CADCA’s Public Policy Team
