An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Halt Trump's purge of federal workforce

67 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

The Trump administration's mass firing of probationary federal employees is deeply concerning and counterproductive. This misguided action undermines effective governance and public service. The federal workforce plays a vital role in providing essential services and programs that benefit all Americans. Dismissing employees without cause or due process is unjustified and will only further degrade morale, expertise, and operational capacity across agencies. This purge disregards merit-based principles and targets dedicated public servants based solely on their hiring date rather than performance. It represents an abuse of authority that prioritizes political ideology over competence. Furthermore, claims of streamlining and cost savings ring hollow given the immense disruption and loss of institutional knowledge this will cause. I urge you to intervene and halt these terminations immediately. The federal government requires a skilled and stable workforce to fulfill its duties to the American people properly. Gutting agencies through arbitrary firings is short-sighted and will ultimately undermine their ability to carry out their critical missions effectively. Preserving an experienced and professional federal workforce should be a priority to ensure continuity of operations and services.
