CALL TO ACTION: Federal Layoffs Threaten Native Communities
There is alarming news: that the federal government is firing thousands of probationary employees, including those who work in agencies serving Native communities like the Indian Health Service (IHS), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), which are essential to fulfilling the federal government’s trust and treaty obligations. These layoffs will harm essential services our communities rely on and break the government’s trust and treaty responsibilities to Tribal Nations.
We need YOUR help to take action and protect these vital services:
1️⃣ Contact Your Representatives: Call or email your congressional representatives and demand they stop these layoffs for employees serving Indian Country.
2️⃣ Spread Awareness: Share this post and talk to others about how these cuts will hurt Native communities.
3️⃣ Support Tribal Advocacy: Follow organizations like your local tribal affiliates for updates and ways to help.
Together, we can make our voices heard and fight for the services our communities deserve. Visit www.tamoanchan.space for more info.
