I Support Feds #ISupportFeds Federal employees play a vital role in our everyday lives. Yet today, they face unprecedented threats. Career civil servants are being arbitrarily purged from the federal workforce, agencies are being shuttered and vital public services are being disrupted. These actions seek to upend our government’s professional, nonpartisan civil service, a cornerstone of our democracy. Our nation’s civil servants take a constitutional oath to serve the public good. With little fanfare, they move our nation forward, ensuring our food and water are clean, helping veterans and seniors access their benefits, providing disaster relief, protecting our borders, keeping us safe when we travel, delivering weather forecasts, and more. Civil servants need our support now more than ever. Share a story about a federal employee who has made a difference in your life to help us demonstrate why public servants matter and what is at stake if their work is disrupted. Tearing apart the government’s apolitical, merit-based workforce would undermine federal services and harm the public. Help us protect the civil service and show federal employees that you’ve got their back. Show your support of federal employees. Members of the public: Tell us how a federal employee inspired you or made a positive impact on your community, on our country or on the world. Current and former feds: Let your voice be heard. Share how your work makes a difference. We will feature stories on our website, in our Five Stories of Public Service newsletter and on our social platforms. 10 ways you may have recently interacted with a federal employee 1.
