On the day Justice Connection launched, Stacey testified before Congress about the assault on DOJ employees that had already begun, and the new organization that would be there to support them.
Sample news coverage (New York Times): “Ms. Young is scheduled to testify on Friday before the House Judiciary Committee during a hearing about the rights, resources and options of recourse for Justice Department employees targeted by the Trump administration. ‘The president had promised to dismantle the civil service, and they’ve been aggressively pursuing that project in just two weeks,’ Ms. Young said. ‘Right now, DOJ employees are sitting ducks, and many well-meaning people are calling on them to just keep sitting. That’s not going to work. If they’re going to stay, they’re going to need help.’”
