And by the way, if you're someone who's been hurt by the firings and freezes (and is comfortable with it), call your Democratic electeds and let them know you'd like to tell your story to the public! Someone who represents you is looking for an experience like yours to highlight, I promise.
Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters *right now* that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington.

Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.
Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Was this form shared in an established ESA platform? I just wanted to verify this form is from ESA before sharing it. Forgive me for questioning, but just being cautious.
