An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Rein in lawless dismantling of federal agencies, protect workers

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I'm appalled by the mass firings of dedicated federal workers across crucial government agencies like FEMA, the CDC, the IRS, and the Departments of Defense, Education, and Veterans Affairs. These short-sighted layoffs, carried out by an unelected billionaire with a dubious agenda, have crippled vital services and jeopardized national security and public safety during crises. Many fired employees were tasked with critical roles like managing nuclear weapons, overseeing air travel safety, and investigating Musk's companies. Their dismissals appear politically motivated and personally vindictive rather than aimed at fiscal responsibility. Attempts to quickly rehire some workers underscore the layoffs' recklessness. This destructive overreach of executive power, providing tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of a functioning government, cannot stand. I urge you to oppose any spending bill that fails to include binding protections for federal workers and measures to rein in this administration's lawless actions dismantling agencies. Uphold your constitutional duty to serve the people, not billionaire interests.
