As we enter a new era of the Trump administration, we hope you will join us October 7, 2025, at 4pm EST for our webinar, Environmental Protection, Public Service and the Rise of Authoritarianism.
It is important for all of us to recognize the moment we are in – one where the fate of our work protecting the public employees and the environment is inextricably tied to our ability to combat the rise in authoritarianism and promote democratic values in our country.
Together, we all have an important role to play in the movement against rising lawlessness by the federal government and the consolidation of Presidential power.
We hope to see you there,
Sincerely,
Tim Whitehouse
Executive Director
