Coloradans rally at state capitol against federal cuts and layoffs
SHARE

A group of former federal employees and concerned citizens gathered at the west steps of the state Capitol on Tuesday to call on state officials to support those impacted by ongoing and upcoming federal cuts and layoffs.

Susan Abbott, a recently laid-off federal worker from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), spoke about the uncertainty facing many Americans as a result of the sudden terminations. She highlighted the fragility of the country and the lack of a safety net for those affected.

Abbott, who had worked in international development for 25 years, expressed concern about the current state of the nation and the challenges faced by those who have lost their jobs. She emphasized the need for support and solidarity in these difficult times.

The rally was a response to the recent wave of layoffs and budget cuts under President Trump’s administration, including the dismantling of USAID. The foreign assistance program has come under scrutiny for alleged waste and promotion of liberal social programs.

Attendees at the rally shared their personal stories of hardship and uncertainty following the layoffs. Terrill Kucera, a former USAID subcontractor, spoke about the abrupt halt to projects and the financial struggles he has faced since losing his job.

Despite the challenges, Abbott and Kucera urged lawmakers to expedite unemployment benefits and extend eligibility to support those affected by the cuts. They emphasized the need for government assistance in navigating these difficult times.

Following the rally, Democratic State Senators addressed the crowd and reassured them of their support. They offered to host a town hall to discuss federal worker layoffs and unemployment in Colorado.

The event highlighted the divide among Americans over the mass firings, with a recent poll showing mixed opinions on the staff cuts. While some support the downsizing of government, others are concerned about the impact on workers and communities.

Overall, the rally served as a platform for those affected by the layoffs to share their stories and advocate for support from the government and the community.
