U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich on Major Cuts to AmeriCorps

5.16.25 – This week, we turn our attention to federal cuts made to AmeriCorps, the government agency that’s trained generations of Americans to help others. Until recently, AmeriCorps employed thousands to help others statewide — from Taos to Ruidoso, and in cities and pueblos in between. Now, the federal agency is a shadow of what it once was, as most of its staff have been fired and millions of dollars in federal grants have been axed. Host Nash Jones speaks with U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., to discuss President Trump’s gutting of AmeriCorps, and what he and the state are doing about it.     

Host: Nash Jones 

Guest: U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M.
