Thank you @repcleaver for signing a funding letter rejecting budget cuts and supporting the #PeaceCorps.

[National Peace Corps Association @pcorpsconnect]

The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on this amendment next Tuesday.

[National Peace Corps Association @pcorpsconnect]

.@NitaLowey: "Our national security is strongest when development, diplomacy and defense are equally prioritized...This amendment undermines United States leadership and diminishes our engagement in the world." #AmericaLeads #PeaceCorpsMatters

[National Peace Corps Association @pcorpsconnect]

Deep thanks to @NitaLowey for strong opposition to the Walker amendment. "This amendment would not trim but entirely cut all these investments." She cited support for 14.7m people receiving life-saving HIV treatment, and 70m children learning to read with U.S. assistance.

[National Peace Corps Association @pcorpsconnect]

.@NitaLowey also cited #PeaceCorps, which would see all of its proposed $425m FY2020 budget reallocated by the Walker amendment. "7,200 Peace Corps Volunteers are serving as excellent representatives of the U.S...How are these cuts in our national interest?" #PeaceCorpsMatters
