Class-action suit against FBI and justice department alleges agents were wrongfully terminated for investigating Trump
Excerpt
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington DC, seeks to represent all employees fired by the FBI since 1 January 2025, as well as those who may be terminated in the future, “on the basis of perceived political affiliation, without being afforded due process”. At least 50 former agents could be part of the proposed class, lawyers wrote in court papers.

Take Action

You can make a difference.

It's okay to start small.

Action is the antidote to fear and despair.

Right now is a great time to take action.
