You can fight fascism, but you can’t fight AltCityHall. Maybe your local city hall, though. #AltGov
- Reposted by AltCityHallEvery year, without fail, because I work in customer service, multiple people tell me to have a great holiday, and I know they mean well, but honestly, it’s like a gut punch every single time. Please remember 30% of the Federal employees are vets. And for a lot of us, this weekend is not fun. 💔💔💔

- Reposted by AltCityHallEveryone deserves to live & love freely. I'm proud to help introduce the Equality Act & codify into law that LGBTQI+ rights are civil rights. This isn't about politics; it's about ensuring that every person, no matter who they are or who they love, can walk through this world with equal protection.

- Reposted by AltCityHall#AltGov was asked #WhyWeStay on as gov workers. I want to contribute to something important. I believe in fairness, transparency, equity, the rule of law, excellence, integrity and service before self. These are values central to civil service & my agency. It’s my legacy and my calling. 💕
- Reposted by AltCityHall#WeSeeYou Thank you to my fellow feds and to those who support us. Thank you for your commitment not to power or profit, but to people. You lift us up even if we don’t seem like we need it (we do!). History will remember your integrity, even when others don’t.
- Reposted by AltCityHall#AltGov was asked #WhyWeStay in our jobs as feds. Can't lie, it's tough in such a toxic environment. We are terrorized daily by incompetent leaders. Many of us aren't allowed to do our jobs. Standing up to DOGE gets us marched out of the building. Yet around 75-80% of us remain, and here's why.
- Reposted by AltCityHall(1/4) Adding my voice to that of my fellow #AltGov folks in sharing #WhyWeStay. The Coast Guard has a diverse set of missions - I joined because I wanted to keep people safe, and my work allows me to do so every day. There may be times of stress and confusion, but I know my work matters.
- Reposted by AltCityHallWhy I stay. Because I work in the department that is making the rich folks/businesses pay their fair share. And I go after tax evaders that owe over 1 million in taxes. I have broad support for my job. #whywestay.
- Reposted by AltCityHall#WhyWeStay 🧵 The yearly surge of RSV infections meant a full ER, full floor, and make-shift rooms in storage cupboards. Dozens of babies coming in daily with the same thing: stuffed up nose, coughing, trouble breathing. At night I would check each of the 40 babies on the floor looking for higher
- Reposted by AltCityHall#Altgov have been asked to post today about #WhyWeStay. I stay because I chose to serve the American people and even more so the most vulnerable among us. I stay to stay true to myself. I stay because I am good at my job and you deserve a government for the people, by smart good people who care.
- Reposted by AltCityHallThis article that calls for the razing of HUD's bldg and talks in awful ways about HUD employees. TIL that HUD was in the Murrah Building (1995 OKC bombing). They lost many people that day. This is not normal. This is traumatizing and awful. @madhouser.altgov.info #weseeyou archive.is/aIR8U
- Reposted by AltCityHallToday, #Altgov members are sharing #WhyWeStay. I have no great words of inspiration. I love my job. I believe strongly in what we do. I know the public needs us. I stay because I'm not ready to give up on that mission yet. We help a lot of people and I'm not ready to give in to those who don't care.
- Reposted by AltCityHallToday the #AltGov accounts are being asked to tell #WhyWeStay. I am still an employee of USFWS because I am committed to our conservation mission, I care about the people I work with, and I get to be hands on living my dream. I take risk to have this account, but it is part of my love of the job.
- Reposted by AltCityHallI almost didn’t post today. It was a rough day, after a rough week, after a rough nearly 100 days. But the #AltGov and #AltFam started a #WhyWeStay thread. Worth reading because IT IS WHY. Why have I served and why keep the faith? Last summer, my kids wanted to go to NY Pride in NYC. And we … 1/n
- #AltGov was asked: #WhyWeStay on as gov workers. I can't go into detail about my work but I'll say this: There is a woman hidden on the West Coast who is married with a family. This was made possible by what we did to rescue her from traffickers when she was a child.

- I’m not able to write a #WhyWeStay post. However, I am able to offer my friendship, support, and eternal gratitude to the government employees and contractors who are writing those posts over the next few days. 🤍 #WeSeeYou 🧵🧵🧵
- To any other marginalized group I haven’t mentioned specifically, I apologize, I’m only human with too much on my plate like most of us. But even if I didn’t post about you, #WeSeeYou, and we (some of us) ARE you. 🫶🏼

- Reposted by AltCityHallWonder #WhyWeStay? Feds love the mission, we know how much it matters, and we love working for the people, of the people, and by the people. One of our newest #altgov reps explains it so well. Give a follow and a big rebel yell for @rebelfema.bsky.social #WeSeeYou #resist
- This regime is going to have to pry this job out of my cold dead hands because I work for the people not for the regime. I’m not going quietly. For those who are still here quietly serving #WeSeeYou. We appreciate you. Thank you. 8/8 #FedStrong
- Reposted by AltCityHallI’m so grateful for the care VA gave my dad in his last months and days. I’m so grateful for every person in every role from care providers to those mopping the floors and keeping the cogs moving in other roles. Every one important. #weseeyou
- Happy Monday, Y’all! Ever wonder why feds stay? Why we don’t just quit? Over the next few days, your friends at #AltGov are going to tell you #WhyWeStay! Working for the VA is a way for me to give to my community and country, while providing healthcare outside for-profit healthcare systems.

- Reposted by AltCityHallOver the next few days, our #AltGov family is going to tell you #WhyWeStay. Even as agencies are gutted and public servants are pushed out, thousands are still showing up. Still fighting for a government that serves people, not billionaires. They dismantle. We build. This is #WhyWeStay.
