Trump is issuing an executive order to abolish the Department of Education. This is cruel and illegal – a direct attack on public schools, students, and our communities.
Trump is issuing an executive order to shut down and abolish the Department of Education. This is cruel and illegal – a direct attack on public schools, students, and our communities.

Federal workers continue to be wrongfully terminated and those who are left have the fear they could be next at any moment.
Reports indicate that the Administration is preparing for another mass termination spree in April or even sooner of federal workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This will continue to erode NOAA’s ability to provide critical extreme weather data for decision makers, to inspect the health of domestic and imported seafood, to support first-responders as they fight wildfires, and much more.
Join us and lock arms with former NOAA workers, Congressional leaders, advocates, and concerned citizens at NOAA HQ in Silver Spring. Letting federal workers know we’re with them is an important message to send right now.
When: Thursday, March 20 at 10:00 AM
Where: 1325 East-West Highway, Silver Spring MD 20910
Who: former NOAA staff, Congressional leaders, advocates, concerned citizens, and YOU! RSVP
March 14 (3.14) is more than a date — it is a symbol, it is a statement, and it is a sign of our story.
3.14 represents Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — the Constitution demands that those who engage in insurrection be barred from office.
3.14 represents the power of the circle — the universal symbol of infinity, continuity, and unbreakability. Just as a circle has no weak or unequal points, this movement will have no breaks, no fractures, no surrender.
On March 14, we peacefully flood Washington, D.C., encircling the institutions of power, demanding action, and making our presence undeniable. We will convene at noon on the National Mall between 4th and 6th Streets N.W. Please see the Resources page for more information.
March 14 has also been designated as a National Strike Day. We encourage workers from around the country to join us in DC.
