Help us spread our statement
Share https://18f.org in your personal social media channels.
Tell your 18F story
- Share your personal story with 18F on your social media channels. Heartfelt stories and concrete examples about 18F’s impact can help change hearts and minds.
- If you worked with us, used anything we built, or were impacted by our work, share your story.
Contact your elected officials
- Find your elected officials (most people have 2 senators and 1 representative).
- Call them — a phone call is more impactful than an email.
- Speak from the heart. Convey the personal impact and be concrete about what you’re asking your representative to do.
- Consider asking them to stop the Reductions in Force (RIFs) in government. Tell them to defend the rule of law. Demand that they investigate what DOGE has done.
