Your experience as a public servant or as a recipient of federal services or benefits gives you a unique perspective on how the federal government impacts the communities you serve and belong to. The Partnership is working on numerous activities to educate and engage the public on the federal government’s role in people’s lives, and to show how cuts to federal personnel, grants and infrastructure impact individuals and their communities. People in your community may only now be seeing how cuts to government are affecting the country—but you can help them understand the deeper, lasting consequences.

This communications guide is intended to help individuals and groups craft and amplify the stories of federal employees, offering resources and examples to help bring these narratives to the forefront of public understanding.
