Dear John,
Donald Trump promised to put America first—but his actions are devastating the next generation of leaders. His push to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and remake the federal workforce has thrown young professionals into chaos, forcing layoffs, hiring freezes, and shattered dreams for those who sought stable, impactful careers in public service.
Thousands of young professionals, fresh out of school and eager to build meaningful careers in public service, are finding their dreams shattered. Many entered federal service with the promise of stability, benefits, and the opportunity to make a difference. Instead, reckless freezes on foreign aid funding have left them laid off, struggling to pay rent, and scrambling to survive.
This is the harsh reality for thousands of early-career professionals. Trump's administration has targeted probationary hires and contractors for cuts, leaving them jobless and without a safety net. Programs like PEPFAR, which save lives and fight global HIV/AIDS, are now collateral damage in Trump’s war on public service.
By dismantling USAID and gutting critical funding, Trump isn’t just hurting young workers—he’s sabotaging America’s role in humanitarian aid and diplomacy. Young people who accepted financial sacrifices for the chance to serve their country are being abandoned, forced to compete in an already saturated job market.
These aren’t isolated cases—they’re part of a broader assault on federal workers and the values of service, stability, and opportunity they stand for.
This is a full-blown attack on our future, and we can’t afford to sit back. We need to fight back NOW. Donate today to stop Trump’s destruction, defend public service, and stand with the next generation of leaders. Every second counts—every dollar matters. Let’s show Trump we won’t let him ruin our future. Chip in now.
In Solidarity,
The No Dem Left Behind Team
