EXCERPT:
BIDEN: “I’m calling for a new era of national service to organizations like AmeriCorps to foster stronger communities and bridge divides in our society. And I’m calling on Congress to do its part, raise the living allowance for national service positions to the equivalent of $15 an hour.
[Applause]
This would make national service an accessible pathway to success for more Americans of all backgrounds. Pass my budget, increase funding to protect nonprofits and houses of worship from hate-fueled violence.
[Applause]
And hold social media platforms accountable for spreading hate-fueled violence.
[Applause]
And I’m calling on Congress to get rid of special immunity for social media companies and impose much stronger transparency requirements on all of them.”
