Advocating for the Peace Corps on Capitol Hill in 2024

On Capitol Hill Advocacy Day, Glorious Broughton (Kenya 1980-82), Sharon Torkelson (Colombia 2022-23), and Maricarmen Smith-Martinez (Costa Rica 2006-08) shared their experiences on the Hill and why it's important to advocate for the Peace Corps.
The conclusion of our Capitol Hill Day is only the beginning of our National Days of Advocacy! Our attention now shifts to local advocacy actions and solidarity events planned in March and April by Peace Corps advocates across the country. Learn More: www.peacecorpsconnect.org/20-...
