Stand up for service. And for the important work of protecting our national security.

I, and many Foreign Service colleagues and others who support public service, will march in solidarity May 9 at 11 am at the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) HQ in DC. Diplomacy matter. Join us!

Cutting the Foreign Service isn’t just a political decision—it undermines America’s influence, global leadership, and our edge in trade, tech, and innovation.

#StandUpForService to protect our values and interests around the world.

U.S. embassy staffers work tirelessly to serve Americans abroad, but reckless policies threaten to reduce their ranks.

Happy Peace Corps Week! Peace Corps volunteers dedicate two years of their lives to help communities in need. Show support for this great cause before it’s on the chopping block too. It represents the best of what America can be. #StandUpForService #NPCA #PeaceCorps #government #civilservice #resist

Elaine was stranded overseas with her newly adopted kids, unable to bring them home.

Luckily, embassy staff stepped in when the standard process to get the kids' passports hit a roadblock.

The FS is being weakened. The next family might be out of luck. #StandUpForService, before it’s too late.

With the dismantling of USAID, VOA, and tomorrow's anticipated RIFs at the State Dept. Ambassador William Burns' warning that "the future of our diplomatic service is uncertain" could not be any more urgent or timely.

We must continue to #StandUpForService. Learn how at ServiceDisrupted.org

I believe every American who wants to promote world peace and friendship deserves the chance to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer.

Let's stand up for service and protect Peace Corps for future volunteers.
