The Trump Transition
This page is a collection of our ongoing efforts to track the incoming administration’s actions, along with some of the resources available for federal public employees who protect the environment, natural resources, and public health in these challenging and disturbing times.
Since 1992, PEER has fought to protect public employees who protect the environment. We have done this through Democratic and Republican administrations in a strictly non-partisan manner.
As we prepare for a second Trump administration, we are clear-eyed about the threats this administration will pose to our country’s civil service and the environment.
PEER will step up our work to protect public employees by representing whistleblowers, defending government workers’ First Amendment rights, and upholding laws that govern the civil service and protect the environment, our natural resources, and public health.
In the past eight years, we have worked with employees in many federal agencies and their subdivisions, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of the Interior, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Military.
We have also succeeded in protecting and strengthening environmental protections in difficult times. We will continue this work in the years ahead.
