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.

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.
