Applaud the Court Decision Blocking State Department Layoffs

A federal judge has just temporarily blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with a sweeping reorganization of the U.S. State Department that would have laid off 2,000 employees. The judge ruled that the White House cannot unilaterally restructure federal agencies without congressional approval—protecting tens of thousands of public servants from political purges. 

This decision reinforces a powerful message: the federal government must answer to the law, not the whims of any one president or billionaire. Public service should never be used as a pawn in political games. 

Add your name to celebrate this major legal victory and stand with the workers, unions, and communities who fought back to defend our institutions and democratic norms!
