Everyday Americans rely on federal programs for their education, clean air, safe food, maintained parks, and so much more. And it’s dedicated public service employees who power those efforts, working often behind the scenes to make our communities thrive. 

Every family relies on federal employees. Whether it’s the FDA inspector ensuring our medicines are safe or the Social Security administrator helping our seniors, public servants work for all of us

The Trump administration’s callous job cuts have wreaked havoc on our communities and thrown the lives of people committed to public service into limbo. These attacks on federal workers and mass firings hurt all of us. 

This Public Service Recognition Week (May 4-10) is not just about recognition—it’s about defending, supporting, and celebrating the public workforce that we depend on.
