With more than $400 million in AmeriCorps funding slashed this spring, schools across the country are losing vital support staff.

Join The 74 and the Progressive Policy Institute at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday for a special conversation about national service organizations, like AmeriCorps, and the impact cuts to their funding could have on the future of public education.

PPI’s Curtis Valentine will lead a conversation with Legends Charter Schools’ CEO Atasha James and Rick Kahlenberg, director of PPI’s Housing Policy and the American Identity Project, about the power of individuals to improve educational outcomes for all children.
