Alan Khazei for Senate

 *Endorsed by the Boston Globe* Alan Khazei, a son of immigrants and a Harvard graduate, co-founded City Year in Boston as a model domestic Peace Corps. President Bill Clinton was inspired by City Year to create AmeriCorps and, as a result, 575,000 Americans have contributed 700 million hours of service educating our children, conserving our environment, and fighting poverty. A public service pioneer, Alan also founded Be the Change, Inc. to convene coalitions and build movements to force progress on key issues. As a citizen, Alan helped craft and pass four pieces of national legislation including the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1990, AmeriCorps, and Save AmeriCorps. In 2008 and 2009, as the leader of the Service Nation coalition reaching over one hundred million Americans, Alan worked closely with Senator Kennedy in crafting and helping to pass the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act which will create 175,000 full and part-time service jobs. Now he's running for US Senate—join him at AlanForSenate.com!
