Public Service Recognition Week (May 3–9, 2026) is a chance to shine a light on the federal, state, and local employees who keep our country safe, strong, and healthy — and to make sure Congress is doing its part to recognize them.
Use the sample letter below to send a message to your lawmakers urging them to honor federal workers during Public Service Recognition Week and recommit to a merit based civil service that works for all Americans.
You don’t have to be a current or former federal worker to take action — anyone who has benefited from government services, or who believes in the value of public service, can speak up.
