Help us protect the civil service

Our democracy depends on the 2 million career federal employees who work in communities across the country to serve the public good. Yet mounting efforts to politicize the nonpartisan, merit-based civil service would strip our government of the expertise it needs to deliver vital public services and respond to pressing challenges.

Join our effort to defend the federal workforce from harmful attacks, while promoting an alternative vision for a better government.
