Congressman Don Beyer, who represents a Northern Virginia district with one of the highest concentrations of federal employees in the country, today shared an invitation to a constituent services event to be held on Saturday, September 20 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The event will offer practical financial guidance tailored for current and former federal workers. Held in partnership with Falls Church Mayor Letty Hardi and wellfed, an organization of former federal employees providing comprehensive support for current and federal workers and contractors at every stage of their career journey, the event will be part of Congressman Beyer's "Rising to Meet the Challenge" series to support Northern Virginians affected by policies enacted by the Trump Administration. In addition to financial advice, attendees will have access to community and wellness resources, and lunch will be provided.
Earlier this week, Beyer published an open letter in support of federal employees in which he wrote:
"We have seen the news of mass firings at different federal agencies. At the Departments of Agriculture, Education, State, Health and Human Services, at OPM, FDA, CDC, NIH, and NASA. This is deeply tragic and upsetting. Many of us are seeing hard times, but we must not lose hope or the determination to support each other and fight for a better country. America was founded on optimism and creativity, and we cannot lose those valuable traits even in the toughest times that call for continued patriotism and endurance."
