Echoing Green is set to take over Capitol Hill tomorrow, as President Cheryl Dorsey and 1994 Fellow Van Jones are slated to testify before the House Education and Labor Committee. The hearing, titled Renewing America through National Service and Volunteerism, will “examine the importance of national and community service in meeting critical economic needs across the country.”  Cheryl and Van, along with recording artist Usher and several others, will stand as witnesses to the power of civic engagement and the ways community involvement can help reinvigorate America.  

Set your Tivo to record CSPAN at 10am tomorrow or watch it live online. Let us know what you think of the hearing in our comments section. How do you feel about social innovation and service playing a key role in the Obama administration? How can we boost community service in our neighborhoods?
