Federal labor unions are some of the only groups able to stand up to Trump and DOGE right now. They are our voice. Federal workers and our predecessors in the fair labor movement fought hard to have that right.

The 65% budget cut and incoming RIFs to EPA will put human health at risk. You don’t have to be an environmentalist to care about this. EPA enforces the Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation & Recovery Act, CERCLA/Superfund, provides emergency response (1/2)
