Brave federal workers are courageously refusing to comply with unlawful, unethical, or potentially harmful orders issued by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. These individuals are upholding their moral and legal duty to protect the Constitution, human rights, and the integrity of American democracy by choosing not to comply.

As outlined in recent reports, federal workers—those who serve in scientific and research roles, immigration, environmental protection, and other critical sectors—are faced with directives that contradict the core principles of public service. These workers, many of whom have sworn an oath to protect the Constitution, are increasingly finding themselves caught between following orders from Musk and Trump and their duty to the law and the public interest.

Their refusal to comply with potentially unlawful orders represents a vital moment in the broader struggle for accountability, transparency, and adherence to the rule of law. History has shown that moments of noncompliance in the face of tyranny or injustice can be pivotal in holding those in power to account. This is no different. The resistance of these public servants is a testament to the power of principled action against potential authoritarianism.

Society relies on federal employees to function. Weather forecasts, environmental protections and climate change mitigation are just three examples of the many vital contributions these public servants make to our nation. Those who are bravely standing up against Trump, Musk, and DOGE deserve our support.

Please sign the petition to support these federal workers and to call on Congress and all public institutions to reaffirm and to protect their rights to refuse unlawful orders without fear of retaliation. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that public servants can carry out their lawful responsibilities without compromising the values that make our nation strong.
