Hi,

Elon Musk and Trump are recklessly gutting federal agencies and firing federal workers at the EPA, IRS, CFPB, Treasury Department, and beyond.

These drastic, haphazard firings are threatening lives, social services, the environment, consumer protections, public education, and national security. Social Security benefit payments and Medicare enrollments could be disrupted. Who’s actually benefitting from this all? Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, corporate executives, fossil fuel companies and predatory financial firms.

Trump even fired hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) workers AFTER recent devastating plane crashes in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.¹ Congress must exercise its power over the executive branch to protect workers and our government immediately.

Sign the petition: Tell Congress to protect federal workers and government services from Musk and Trump!

Musk and Trump are prioritizing billionaires and big corporations over everything else.

Demand Progress is joining workers, unions, and coalition partners to fight back against Trump’s deregulation, firings, forced resignations, and gutting of agencies. We can’t let Musk and Trump undo the federal government.

Sign the petition: Urge Congress to use its power to stop Musk.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
