TELL CONGRESS: Musk and Trump are firing government workers and trying to close up federal agencies as Musk’s cronies get their hands in critical government data systems. It’s a danger to everyone in the country. Sign the petition: Congress must exercise its power to stop Musk’s insidious power grab and protect federal workers!

Hi,

Elon Musk is stomping around the government, closing up federal agencies, firing federal workers, and clearing the way for his cronies to take full control of critical government data and payment systems.1

Musk and Trump are trying to shut down USAID and are locking workers out of federal email accounts and buildings.2 1,000 EPA workers “could be fired immediately.”3

Unelected and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk should not have the power to undo the federal bureaucracy. Congress must immediately exercise its power over the executive branch to protect workers and our government.

Sign the petition: Protect federal workers and our entire government from Musk!

Demand Progress is doing everything we can to stop Musk’s dangerous actions. We’ve joined other organizations and federal workers in support of a lawsuit to stop Musk’s associates from “allegedly operating an illegally connected server” at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management — a threat to personal data and all government workers.4

We need Congress to step up and use their constitutional powers to stop Musk now.

Add your name: Stop Musk’s insidious power grab and protect federal workers!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
