Congressman Moulton Invites AmeriCorps Volunteer From Lynn to Attend President's State of the Union Address

Salem, Mass. –  On the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) announced that Ludia Modi, an AmeriCorps Fellow from Lynn, Mass., will be his guest at the President’s State of the Union address tomorrow evening. Through her AmeriCorps Fellowship, the 22-year-old Modi coordinates The Food Project, a local non-profit organization that recruits and educates youth to become leaders in sustainable agriculture and social justice.

“I am thrilled that Ludia will join me tomorrow night as we listen to President Obama lay out his vision for the coming year,” said Moulton. “Martin Luther King, Jr. taught us that we all can make a difference because we all can serve. Ludia is living Dr. King’s legacy by dedicating her time and energy to making our community a better place.\

“Ludia and other national service volunteers across the country remind us every day of the importance of putting others before ourselves in order to make positive change. That’s a lesson worth remembering as the 114th Congress begins.”  \

Modi will watch the President’s State of the Union address from the Gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives tomorrow night at 9:00pm ET.
