The State Department’s plan to cut 2,000 positions, including 700 seasoned diplomats, puts our national security at risk. NSL4A urges Congress to act before lasting harm is done.

As the world burns, sidelining diplomacy is a losing strategy.
The State Dept. plans to cut 15% of staff—on top of talent already lost. Reckless policies threaten America’s global leadership.

NSL4A is calling for Congressional oversight following the Qatari “gift” of a new Air Force One. We believe this raises serious operational security concerns.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about security. This administration is trying to punish us for defending the Foreign Service, for pushing back on reckless personnel policies, and for daring to speak out.

The experts who make sure our drugs are safe, review clinical trials, and track diseases and pandemics were shown the door yesterday by Trump’s unqualified HHS Secretary. This puts the health of every American in greater danger. apnews.com/article/health-hu…

We’re sharing the real, human toll of these decisions—anonymously, because many fear the consequences of speaking out. Their voices matter. Their service matters.

AAD member Ambassador Pamela White reflects on her time in the Foreign Service. She said, "USAID represents the very best of us... It is a beacon of hope and respect to all. Close it down and we are all a lot less safe. And millions will die." pressherald.com/2025/02/24/o…

Strengthening democracy & securing a more equitable future requires women's equal political representation. The EJS Center commends @melindagates' commitment to prioritize investments that support women’s #PoliticalLeadership. Read her @TIME article: bit.ly/42WP4GI

I echo @melindagates' sentiments in her recent @TIME article: women belong–and are badly needed–at all levels of government. We must push for reforms to outdated rules that have historically held women back. Together we can make women's equal political representation the norm.
