As the Trump administration buckles down on attacking federal workers and gutting public services, we know we need to be out front sharing how the work of public servants is critical to the American people.
Local media outlets and your communities want to hear from you about how this administration's actions are hurting government employees and agency missions.

News publications are interested in how the Trump administration's actions are impacting federal and D.C. government employees and how the services we provide to the American people are suffering.
Additionally, our Legislative Department may also reach out to you with opportunities to testify before Congress or speak at local town hall events.
