Stories of
Public Service
Newsletter
Stories of Public Service is a monthly newsletter spotlighting the public servants, programs and services that are keeping our communities safe, strong and healthy.
- We'll highlight the essential programs and services made possible by federal grants, profile the invaluable work of a nonpartisan civil service, share data points worth knowing, and track stories of how federal funding and the government's footprint are changing nationwide.
Learn how public servants keep America running
Every month, we round up the stories and data that show how civil servants are keeping our country running in every community, from the people processing benefits and passports to scientists and researchers solving our biggest challenges.
Why it matters:
- Federal funding, personnel and infrastructure cuts are disrupting the critical public services and agency work Americans depend on every day. Our research shows that the erosion of government capacity has a measurable, tangible effect on the public.
- By sharing stories of public servants who continue to work for a better, more effective government, we help the public understand why a merit-based civil service is essential to a country that works for everyone.
