Dear Friend,

Life threatening consequences!

Elon Musk, acting on Trump’s illegal overreach to slash programmatic
funding through mass firings and shut down government agencies, is playing
a dangerous game with the lives of federal workers, their families, and
also the American public at large. Already Musk and Trump’s actions have
led to the layoff of thousands of federal workers – everyone from those
who help run Head Start to air traffic controllers who help keep air
travel safe to federal workers in charge of safeguarding our nuclear
weapons. The Trump Administration’s illegal actions in shuttering agencies
is not just a bureaucratic nightmare - they are a direct threat to the
lives of everyday families.

illegal dismantling of federal agencies and unjust mass firings of
employees.

Since January 20th, the Administration’s indiscriminate and illegal
actions to shut down agencies and lay off staff have had real, and
potentially deadly, consequences for all of us:

* The Administration of Children and Families (ACF) is seeing dozens of
terminations in the early childhood offices, impacting the basic
functioning of child care and Head Start programs for families across
the nation. 
* Hundreds of layoffs have occurred at the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) impacting everything from scientists tasked
with helping local and state officials respond to outbreaks; employees
who ensure that medical devices for patients with cancer and diabetes
are safe; and researchers working on finding cures to cancer, heart
disease, and other diseases. [1]
* The Department of Education has laid off special education and
rehabilitation services, and federal student aid staff. And Trump has
revealed his wishes to eliminate the Department of Education all
together.   
* Abruptly and unjustly fired hardworking civilian servants and their
families have been left scrambling, some with life threatening
consequences like the USAID employee and his pregnant wife who were
denied the medical evacuation she urgently needed - putting both his
wife and their baby’s life at risk, in addition to the families around
the world who urgently the humanitarian assistance that USAID
provides. [ [link removed] ]
* The IRS is expecting up to 10,000 employees being laid off right at
the start of tax season, delaying tax returns and making it harder to
catch tax cheats–many of whom are wealthy corporations. [ [link removed] ]

The list of impacted areas goes on and on. Everything from the hotline to
assist veterans in crisis to National Park Service workers are being
impacted by the rampant and thoughtless firings.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump have taken a sledge hammer to our national
government and no areas are safe – which means eventually a service that
impacts you and your family might see delays, cuts, or even elimination.
They want to dismantle federal agencies so we won’t be able to access the
opportunities and tools we need to live, thrive, and support our families.
And all of this is in order to have enough money to provide billionaires
and wealthy corporations with a $4.5 trillion tax cut.

Despite empty campaign promises, none of these firings are helping reduce
costs for our families or grow the economy. And in some parts of the
country, it will actually harm local economies because despite what the
Trump Administration wants you to think, four out of 5 federal employees
live and work outside the Washington, D.C. area. [ [link removed] ]

Trump and  stop the dismantling of federal agencies and unjust mass firing
of employees.

Together we are a powerful voice!
