How to Contact Your Representative About Federal Workers

Over 200,000 federal workers have been fired, placed on administrative leave, or forced to resign through DOGE-directed actions in 2025-2026. Many terminations have bypassed standard civil service protections, with workers fired without cause or due process. The affected workers include scientists at the NIH and CDC, veterans' benefits administrators at the VA, food safety inspectors, air traffic controllers, and thousands of other workers providing essential public services.

Congress created the federal civil service system and has the authority to protect it. Your representatives vote on whether federal workers receive due process protections, whether civil service law is enforced, and whether funding is maintained for the agencies that employ them.
