DC is home to tens of thousands of federal workers, including many who were fired with no notice or chance to plan and now find themselves struggling to pay rent, afford groceries, and take care of their families. These large-scale, indiscriminate layoffs are unlawful and are causing chaos — not only hurting DC residents and our economy, but also placing increased demands on District resources. We are joining with 19 states seeking to stop these illegal firings, reinstate terminated federal probationary workers, and ensure any future downsizing efforts be done in accordance with the law.
