John,
One of Project 2025’s most frightening policies was to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers as “political employees.” Instead of dedicated experts who are loyal to their agency’s mission, Donald Trump could fire those workers and replace them with people whose loyalty is to him.
Now, the Office of Personnel Management is considering implementing this new rule, and we only have until May 23rd to make our opposition heard!
John, if you think the Social Security Administration needs to be staffed by people who want to help Americans access the benefits they’ve earned instead of Trump’s henchmen, submit an official comment today! We’ve made it extremely simple!
Our Social Security system is not political. It is a promise that our country makes to every worker, every time FICA contributions are withheld from their paychecks. But Donald Trump’s Administration is dead set on changing that―from the SSA to the weather service.
It would fundamentally change the structure of agencies that have been delivering for the American people for decades, and likely lead to massive staffing shortages between administrations.
Trump may believe that federal workers are replaceable cogs who don’t do real work, but when seniors visit their Social Security office or call Social Security’s 800 number, they need to be able to trust that the person they take advice from has the training to give them the correct information. Trump’s Project 2025 scheme would break that trust. It must be stopped.
Send a quick message to STOP Trump’s scheme to politicize the government and fire experienced Social Security workers!
Thank you,
Alex Lawson Social Security Works
