Federal workers are the heart of our government, ensuring that critical services like Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits run smoothly. And with 85% of federal workers living outside the Washington, D.C., metro area, they’re also our friends, family members, and neighbors all across the country.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has put thousands of good, hardworking federal workers out of a job this week—jeopardizing the programs we all depend on.
The most powerful thing you can do right now is to put a face to the DOGE’s reckless cuts. If you are a worker, or the friend or family member of a worker affected by the DOGE, we want to hear more about who you are, how you’ve helped our country, and how the DOGE is impacting you.

Unions will fight for working people every step of the way, with every tool in our toolbox. But you have power, too. Thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with the hardworking Americans who make our country run.
