Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda (HI-02) launched a new initiative to hear directly from community members about how they have been harmed by the actions of the Trump Administration and DOGE.
“From firing our federal workers without cause, threatening to cut funding for essential lifeline programs like Medicaid and SNAP, and inciting fear and panic in everyday Americans concerned for their well-being, we know that these recent actions from the Trump Administration and DOGE have been making life more difficult for our communities who rely on the federal government for support. The best way to fight back is to put a real human face to these inhumane and unconstitutional actions on the administrative and executive level,” said Rep. Tokuda. “That’s why it’s critical to us to hear directly from members of our community and hear your stories. To best understand how the changes are affecting you and guide our actions in fighting against them, we need to know how the Trump Administration and DOGE’s efforts to cut government has affected everyday life for our people, businesses, and community.”
Members of the community that have been impacted by recent Trump Administration policies can share their story at tokuda.house.gov/share-your-story. With this information, Rep. Tokuda and House Democrats will help prepare direct responses to expose and stop the Trump Administration’s extreme, illegal, and unconstitutional actions.
