The goal of SEAPAX Advocacy is to ensure that Congress continues to make Peace Corps a priority. This includes maintenance or expansion of program funding (depending on budget realities), passage of legislation that guarantees the safety and security of volunteers, and continued adherence to Peace Corps values both here and abroad. Recent advocacy efforts include phone calls, emails, visits to senate and congressional representatives, letter-writing campaigns, participation in the Peace Corps National Days of Action in D.C. and college campus panel discussions. All actions are important, and the Advocacy Team welcomes volunteers who wish to lobby on behalf of Peace Corps.
