Thanks to everyone who passed on the call for support:
“Hi everyone – today USAID staff in Washington received word that they can go into USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan Building to retrieve their personal belongings. The entire Washington-based staff will have two days, this Thursday and Friday, in one-hour windows by bureau and in 15-minute increments per person. No boxes or packing materials will be provided. There are staff who have worked at the RRB for 20-30 years, and it is the “mother ship” for most of us. This will be an extremely emotional two days.
So, we would like to encourage anyone who is in the DMV area and able to, please join us at the RRB to “clap out” staff, with signs of support. (more…)
