Federal Workers Protest US Role in Gaza War

Group known as Feds United for Peace risks professional repercussions in call for change in US policy.

A group of federal workers, known as Feds United for Peace, planned a 'day of mourning' to protest the US's role in the ongoing Gaza war and the rising death toll in the region.
The group represents employees across 27 government agencies, including the White House and Congress, and their action underscores discontent within President Joe Biden’s administration.
Despite the protest, the Biden administration continues to provide military aid to Israel, with an estimated $3.8bn earmarked annually for the country.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy warned that striking is a criminal offense for federal employees, and those participating in the walkout could face professional repercussions.
The protest reflects a broader dissent within the Biden administration and among the public regarding the US's support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
