Johh, government shutdowns hurt real people. And right now, the first people feeling that pain are federal workers.
Since Donald Trump returned to office, he has been on a revenge rampage against agencies and against public servants who refuse to bow to his agenda. Since January, more than 200,000 federal workers have been fired, and over a dozen agencies have been gutted.
With this shutdown, thousands of hard-working people have been furloughed. Many can't go to work or collect a paycheck. Others are being forced to work without pay at all. Donald Trump has made it clear he is going to use the shutdown as an opportunity to cut even more jobs from the federal workforce.
The GOP wants you to think of federal workers as distant, as if their lives and work do not touch yours. But the truth is, they are the men and women who show up every single day to keep this country running. They support schools nationwide. They plan for natural disasters. They protect consumers from corporate abuse. They care for our national parks. They are our neighbors and friends who want what every family wants — to build a better life for themselves and the people they love.
Federal workers are not Donald Trump’s pawns. Diana is speaking out, and she is standing firm. But federal workers need to see that the American people are standing with them, too. Add your name today to show your support for federal workers and send a clear message to Trump and the GOP that we will not allow them to tear down the very people who keep America running >>
Thank you,
Team DeGette
Diana is relying on grassroots donors to continue fighting for Colorado values in Congress. Can we count on you to chip in $5 — or whatever you can today — to help her keep fighting?
