Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸

We join our country in celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We reflect on the long, ongoing story of American democracy: one built, generation after generation, by people from every background who chose to contribute their talents, labor, and leadership to this country’s promise. Just as our nation’s founding required unity across differences to build something enduring, our country's success depends on standing together — mentoring one another, having the courage to speak up, and lifting up the next generation of government leaders.

We wish you and your families a joyful, safe, and meaningful Fourth of July.

We are excited to welcome our 2026 Communications & Web Support Intern, Janhavi Ramekar! Throughout the summer, Janhavi will support the FAPAC newsletter, social media, website redesign, and gain insight into FAPAC’s nonprofit and public service activities. Get to know Janhavi:

Hi everyone! My name is Janhavi Ramekar, and I am so excited to be an intern with the FAPAC team this summer! I am currently studying Psychology and Data Science at Oakland University, with a strong interest in civic service and public policy.

Over the years, I have spent a lot of time working with nonprofit organizations such as the American Red Cross and UNICEF. Being involved with organizations that focus on bringing people together and creating positive change has always been important to me. Through these experiences, I have also developed a deeper interest in public policy and the impact it can have on communities. I can't wait to contribute to the FAPAC family and am excited to see what this summer has in store!
