Update March 27, 2009: The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act passed.

The Senate will vote this week on the Serve America Act – a piece of legislation which will transform the way government partners with social innovators to solve our nation’s most difficult problems, and create opportunities for Americans of all ages to participate in national service. Now, more than ever, we need to work together to find creative, effective, solutions to the challenges we face.

We need your help in passing this important legislation! Call your senators and ask them to vote YES on S. 277, the Serve America Act.
