mage of a full page ad with hundreds of names that says: "Federal Employees do important work. They are our neighbors. These mass firings compromise Alaska's safety, stability and prosperity. They hurt individuals, families, communities, our state and our economy. Join us in demanding Alaska's elected officials stand up for our federal employees."

Where is the outrage from our reps? How can they stand by when 10% of our workforce is slashed for no reason? Disgusting.

According to the EEOC, the EPA has a total of ~17,000 employees, so this is about 6% of their total workforce.

What's at stake for Alaska? A LOT. Read up on the work the EPA does for our air, water and communities here:
