Condemn the illegal firing of NOAA and NWS employees

This administration's decision to terminate hundreds of employees at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS) poses a grave threat to public safety. These agencies play a vital role in monitoring severe weather events and providing life-saving forecasts and alerts. Their services enable communities across the nation to prepare for and mitigate the impacts of increasingly frequent natural disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, and winter storms. Firing these essential workers jeopardizes the livelihoods and wellbeing of all Americans who rely on accurate weather data and warnings. I urge you to forcefully condemn this reckless action and take immediate steps to reinstate these skilled professionals. Their work is critical to protecting lives and cannot be compromised.
