Resources for Federal Workers Impacted by Recent Federal Actions
Governor Wes Moore has launched the Maryland Public Servants Resource Website, which serves as a centralized hub for programs and resources to support Maryland’s federal employees and contractors impacted by federal workforce layoffs, firings, and changes to federal funding. Please utilize these resources as you may need, and don’t hesitate to reach out to your elected officials to share your story of how these actions by the Trump Administration have affected you.
Here’s some of what your elected officials have said regarding these actions:
“The Trump-Musk Administration’s across-the-board, sweeping layoffs are not only hurting our dedicated public servants — they will also undermine the federal government’s ability to deliver important services to all Americans. These orders are sowing more chaos and confusion, and their haphazard, arbitrary nature shows no basis in improving the way our government works. This is another clear example of idiocy over efficiency. And it’s ultimately part of their effort to eliminate services for Americans in order to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and hand the keys of the federal government over to Elon Musk and other powerful special interests to serve their will, not that of the American people.
“To all the federal workers affected, I stand with you and won’t stop fighting — alongside our legal partners and in Congress — to reverse these reprehensible actions.”
-Senator Chris Van Hollen
“I want anyone who is listening to hear me when I say, you belong here. And we are not backing up, backing down, going away – none of it,” “The important work that you do ensures that the American people have what they deserve… The veteran, like my uncle, who when he was sick, deserved to get the care that he needed. When I think about the Social Security payments: these are promises that America made to our seniors who worked hard for those benefits – this is not a giveaway! These are hard-earned benefits, and you make sure that they get these benefits. You make sure that the American people get what they deserve.”
-Senator Angela Alsobrooks
“President Trump, Mr. Vought, and Mr. Musk have offered federal employees an illegal and demoralizing offer to take a ‘buyout’. Over the past three weeks, they have sought to vilify and villainize federal employees working on behalf of the American people. Later today, a court will hear arguments regarding the legality of the ‘Fork in the Road’ offer,” “As we fight this illegal maneuver through the courts, we must also determine which Departments, services, and individuals are under attack. Such an offer undermines our nation’s ability to deliver the commitments and services that the American people count on every day. House Democrats will continue to stand up for the American people and the Constitution.”
- Congressman Steny Hoyer
