The mass firings ordered by President Trump's budget director, Russ Vought, are not only a continued attack on public service, they're an attack on efficiency and expertise in our government.
Without these workers, our air will be smoggier, our water dirtier and chemical plants more dangerous. That could put every American's health at risk.
They're executing a plan that Vought promised before the 2024 election when he said, "We want their funding to be shut down. We want to put them in trauma."
If no one is enforcing limits on pollution, we get more of it, and more pollution means more cancer, birth defects and children with asthma.
We must stand up, especially during this government shutdown, to protect federal workers.
That's why we're asking you to join EDF Action in taking a stand against harmful pollution by signing this petition immediately to demand an end to the mass firings of federal experts. Will you sign on before it's too late?
