#AltGov is a growing and increasingly busy group banding together to “expose harmful policies, defend public institutions and equip citizens with tools to push back against authoritarianism” The group is also trying to help each other face the thousands of layoffs across the federal government.

With 40 accounts to date, their collective megaphone is getting louder as most of the accounts have tens of thousands of followers.

# AltGov members are increasingly turning their attention to what she calls “action plans” for everyday citizens.

The idea is to get regular people aware of what’s happening and inspire some people to run for office, Stahl said.

# AltGroups also are using encrypted chats to figure out how federal employees can help one another.
