Advocacy Alert

• Below you will find target lists for each state indicating key lawmakers who have not yet signed these letters . An asterisk (*) means the lawmaker signed last year's Dear Colleague letter.
• As of 10 AM Wednesday morning, 9 Senators and 71 Representatives signed this year's letters.
• If your lawmakers have not signed, go to www.morepeacecorps.org, click on your state, and follow the instructions to take action. If you have taken action previously, please do so again, reminding the lawmaker that the deadline for signing the letters is early next week (March 15th for the House;  March 16th for the Senate).
• Forward this message to other friends and neighbors and ask them to take action.
