An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Defend federal workers' contributions and job security

34 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The recent demands by Elon Musk for federal employees to justify their work from the previous week or face dismissal are deeply concerning. Federal workers make crucial contributions across numerous areas that protect and serve the American public. Threatening their livelihoods without proper cause undermines the stability and efficacy of the civil service system. Instead of demoralizing tactics, we should be valuing the expertise and dedication of civil servants. Many perform vital functions related to national security, public safety, scientific research, infrastructure maintenance, and social services that cannot be easily quantified in bullet points week-to-week. Their institutional knowledge is invaluable. I urge you to push back against these arbitrary dismissal threats and attacks on federal workers. Protecting the federal workforce ensures the government can continue operating effectively for the benefit of all citizens. We need policies that attract and retain qualified personnel committed to public service, not reckless attempts at disruption. Stand up for these public servants and safeguard this essential branch of our democracy.
