USA.gov helps visitors find the government information and services they need—applying for jobs, renewing a driver’s license, shopping government auctions, and much more. But USA.gov can only be helpful if Americans are aware of it! A new public service announcement (PSA) called "For the People" helps spread the word. This PSA has been distributed to TV stations across the country and is available on YouTube.
