We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

A Union Takes on Musk via Tesla’s Stock The American Federation of Teachers is pressuring some of the carmaker’s biggest shareholders as the tech mogul's cost-cutting influence in Washington sets off alarm bells.

Getting people to leave Twitter is the second biggest.
