New office will serve Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Pacific Territories; Aid in disaster relief effort

For Immediate Release Wednesday, September 9, 2020 Samantha Jo Warfield, CNCS pressoffice@cns.gov 202-606-6775 Federal Agency Opens New Regional Office in Los Angeles; Celebrates AmeriCorps, Senior Corps Programs  New office will serve Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Pacific Territories; Aid in COVID-19, disaster relief efforts WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the federal agency for volunteering and service, today announced the opening of its new West Regional Office in Los Angeles.  An opening celebration was held virtually via Zoom, welcoming nearly 200 representatives from AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs from across the region. CNCS CEO Barbara Stewart and Regional Administrator Amy Dailey offered remarks at the event. The new office will serve AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs in six states and three territories: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and the Pacific Territories. In total, CNCS provides more than $109 million in funding to the region and this federal investment leverages an additional $131 million in local, outside investments. The funding provided by CNCS supports more than 34,000 AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members who serve at thousands of sites across all nine states and territories. "Our AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers represent the best of America, and I am grateful every day to the incredible CNCS employees who support them." said Barbara Stewart, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service. "I am inspired by the dedication, enthusiasm, and talent of our West Region team, and I look forward to a strong future of service in this region." CNCS is the nation's top provider of grants to support national service and volunteering, harnessing America's most-powerful resource – the energy and talents of its citizens – to help communities address their most pressing needs. AmeriCorps and Senior Corps' service efforts include mentoring and tutoring our nation's youth, alleviating food scarcity, and forging pathways to employment for thousands of Americans. As our country confronts the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, national service plays a more crucial role than ever. Since the start of the national emergency, nearly 12,000 AmeriCorps and Senior Corps have served in direct response to COVID-19, providing assistance to more than 1.5 million Americans. Thousands more are providing critical support to children across the country as they return to school, aiding schools as they transition to remote and distance learning while ensuring that every student stays on track. National service is also serving a critical role in the region's response to the devastating wildfires. The California Conservation Corps, an AmeriCorps program, is supporting base camps, expanding control lines, ember removal and mop-up, and providing other services needed to expand the response. Additional AmeriCorps programs have been deployed to assist with shelter operations and other critical support services. Working in collaboration with governor-appointed state service commissions, the West Regional Office will connect communities to national service resources through the AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs. Its staff will assist national service applicants and grantees by providing training, technical assistance, and administrative oversight. In addition, they will promote the MLK Day and September 11th national days of service, which provide opportunities for all Americans to serve. The West Regional Office is one of eight new offices for CNCS and is part of a second phase of openings this fall that also includes offices in Atlanta and Columbus, Ohio. The first regional offices were opened in the fall of 2019 in Denver; Concord, N.H.; and Kansas City, Mo. Two more offices – located in Austin, Texas and Philadelphia – will open later this year. ### The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that engages millions of Americans in service through its AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs and leads the nation's volunteering and service efforts.

The White House • September 9, 2020 President Trump wants to protect the environment. The left wants to punish America. President Trump visited Florida yesterday, where he signed a presidential order to extend the moratorium on offshore drilling for Florida's Gulf Coast. He also expanded the moratorium to include the Atlantic coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. "Thanks to my administration's pro-American energy policies, we can take this step and the next step while remaining the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world," the President said in Jupiter, Florida. 🎬 President Trump: We can protect our environment AND create jobs! "With fracking, the shale revolution, and the tremendous surge in American energy production, we're showing that we can create jobs, safeguard the environment, and keep energy prices low for America and low for our citizens." While America has become the world's top producer of oil and natural gas, our country has also successfully cut greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality. "The left's agenda isn't about protecting the environment—it's about punishing America," President Trump said. "Instead of focusing on radical ideology, my administration is focused on delivering real results." Here are just a few of those results when it comes to the environment: President Trump recently signed the Great American Outdoors Act, securing the single largest investment in our National Parks in history.   He ended NAFTA and replaced it with the USMCA, which has the strongest environmental protections of any trade agreement in history.   He signed the Save Our Seas Act to protect our environment from foreign nations that litter our oceans with garbage.   He signed the largest public lands legislation in a decade, designating 1.3 million new acres of wilderness last year.   His Administration has invested over $38 billion in clean water infrastructure and delivered upgrades for numerous projects, including Everglades restoration to preserve ecosystems and protect millions of Floridians from flooding. "We'll preserve this glorious land for our children, for our grandchildren, and for every generation of American to come," President Trump said. 📖 President Trump Is Committed to Conserving America's Environment! 🎬 WATCH: The last administration pursued a globalist agenda   Photo of the Day President Trump signs a presidential order on offshore drilling | September 8, 2020 Privacy Policy | Contact the White House | *Unsubscribe The White House · 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW · Washington, DC 20500 · USA · 202-456-1111

“Evolutionary Creationists”—Twisting and Distorting the Scriptures

Ken Ham Daily *View in browser G'day Webmaster220 Bible, "Christians, Science, and Pandemic Times: Love Your Neighbor, Wear a Mask." BioLogos, the so-called "evolutionary creationist" (really theistic evolutionist) organization, recently released this statement. In it, they included a twisting and misrepresentation of Scripture (not surprising, considering how BioLogos blatantly twists the words in Genesis and many other places!). Well, AiG's Dr. Georgia Purdom recently appeared on Heidi St. John's podcast, Off the Bench (many know Heidi as "The Busy Mom"), to discuss BioLogos and the dangers of this organization. Read the blog Got 60 seconds? Check out today’s radio program: What causes climate change? Well, most media say it's CO2 emissions! Is that really the case? Now, there's no doubt the climate's changing. But it also changed in the past. … Listen to today's radio broadcast Sincerely, Ken Ham P.S.
