Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy

COUNTDOWN TO ELECTION DAY: DAY 1 Have you checked your voter registration yet? Before you head to the polls, ensure you’re able to vote. If you changed addresses, party enrollment, or are a new voter, you may need to update your registration.

It’s easy to check online with your local board of elections, or using a trusted site like vote.org or iwillvote.com. You can even see sample versions of your ballot to know what to expect and get help to find your polling place.

Did you know that it’s just over a week until Election Day? Yeah, if you follow us, then you probably did. But how about joining us for the next week for our countdown to Election Day? Every day, we’re taking an action to protect the Midterms.

In our sixth installment of "Federally Yours: True Stories from Civil Servants," hear firsthand from federal workers what role they think we can play to preserve democracy, and what that exactly means to them. Our federal workers are democracy's allies.

Many of them are directly witnessing the dismantling of our vital infrastructure and are just as outraged as you. No matter the administration in power, these people took an Oath to uphold our Constitution, and they are uniquely positioned to stop or slow authoritarianism's rise in the US.

The Justice Department’s saga in California isn’t over. But we need to remember that this is a distraction and is meant to undermine confidence in our elections. FWAD is here to debunk some of the disinformation spreading about our election security.

Election Day is less than three weeks away. Mail-in and early voting are well underway. And so is voter suppression.

There is a lot of alarming news out there about election integrity. It is important to remain clear-headed about the facts. We’re here to clarify some of the election misinformation out there, including the DOJ’s recent attack on California’s voters.

We’re proud to present the fifth video in our series: “Federally Yours: True Stories from Civil Servants.” For the last 200+ years, the very thought of America falling victim to authoritarianism seemed unfeasible. But sadly, that is our reality today.

Though everything must eventually come to an end—including dictatorship—the hardest task lies ahead in recapturing what we’ve lost by building back better. Part of that process demands that we each do our part to return to democracy by exercising our right to vote.

When you've tried every authoritarian tactic in your arsenal, and the people still refuse to bend to your tyrannical will, what else can you do except weaponize law enforcement to violate someone's home under false pretenses?

But we all know what this is--it's the dying squall of a tyrannical leader who knows his time in power is coming to an end. With only 3 weeks until the midterm elections, we cannot be discouraged or distracted.

When we first began our mission of stopping DOGE, supporting and defending federal workers, and protecting democracy, we were a rag-tag group with less than 30 members. Today, we are over 2,000 members strong (and counting), and while we've changed our name, our core mission has remained the same.

We are still here. And were still standing tall next to every federal worker who swore an oath to serve the people of our great nation. In this week's episode of "Federally Yours," we hear what inspired several of our members to hear the call of FWAD and join our movement.

Federal workers are deeply familiar with the Hatch Act. As government officials, our goal is to serve the American people. Trump is in direct violation of the Hatch Act, for his own political benefit. He has hundreds of millions raised in his PACs to do this misleading dirty work…

We literally cannot escape Musk’s shadow, and every American is paying the price—including federal workers.

This week, Trump announced America(dot)gov, a “one-stop-shop” for government services, all powered by AI. Not only is the ongoing divestment of federal workers harming their livelihoods, but it is making Americans’ lives less secure.

Now presenting the third video in our series, “Federally Yours: True Stories from Our Civil Servants.” And this week, we’re asking: who really are federal workers? We emphasize that while federal workers exist strictly to serve the people of this nation, we’re really just regular people like you.

But if we are to fulfill the ideals our nation was founded upon, it will take all civil servants, and YOU, working as one to realize this country’s full potential. Capturing the spirit of Benjamin Franklin, we must continue to honor and uphold our oaths and our republic, if we are to keep it.

In today's episode of "What even is corruption?," the administration is using yet another illegal maneuver to attack the very basic fabric of education in the US. A nation that doesn't value educating its children is a nation that doesn't value progression, innovation, or achievement.

Most federal employees enter public service with just one goal in mind: to serve.

Service is a lot of things. It’s helping families put their lives back together after natural disasters, decontaminating our water supply, funding disease and illness research, or strengthening the nation's many diverse communities with local outreach. That is service. For you, everyday Americans.

Vought and Trump won't stop until everything is under their control, including scientific research. Last week, Trump instructed Vought to draft an executive order to form a new panel to review NIH grants. Yes, the grants that fund scientific and medical research that affect every American.

Because of Trump’s petty disagreements with institutions that won’t bend to him, we could lose life-saving cures and vaccines.

It's often been said that democracy dies in darkness. In service of shining a bright and blinding light on a currently withering democracy, FWAD is honored and excited to humbly present the first video in our newest mini-series: "Federally Yours: True Stories from Our Civil Servants."

As we enter this election cycle with a renewed zeal to get our federal agencies (and democracy) back to functioning for the protection and betterment of the entire nation, it is only right that we spotlight the truths of the civil servants who have come face-to-face with the wrecking ball...

Nearly 18 months have passed since this administration & DOGE, began taking a proverbial wrecking ball to the federal government in the name of rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. During this time, multiple agencies have been shuttered, and many more have been effectively gutted from top to bottom.
