In Washington, DC, local businesses are rallying to support federal workers amid mass layoffs by the Trump administration. Owners like Matt Bormet and Andrew Katz-Moses are providing free services, such as coffee, books, and financial planning sessions, to uplift those navigating uncertainty and hardship. These efforts aim to foster a sense of community, with discounts and free offerings targeted at making life a bit easier for employees facing tough job cuts and financial instability.
Bormet noted the importance of small gestures, stating, "For us, it was really important to try to figure out how we could make people's day 1% better."
Katz-Moses emphasized the urgency of federal workers' worries: "...what do they do about healthcare and how do they handle all these things while grappling with a massive life change."
