Democracy Forward is representing these workers in a class action lawsuit. Donate to help Democracy Forward support these unjustly-fired civil servants.

If you wonder whether protests matter, consider the words of Brendan Ballou, a Justice Department lawyer during the 2017 Muslim ban:
|
“Where we might otherwise have felt like lonely voices in a bureaucracy, public outrage gave us courage and the knowledge that we were, in fact, working in the public interest. Advocacy on the outside made advocacy on the inside possible. While protesters, online and in the street, had no way to know it, their work was enormously influential.”
Those resisting from within the government need and deserve our support!
