Why Blacks? Ask the Heritage Foundation!

Here’s the link to Project 2025 (also known as the “2025 Presidential Transition Project”):

Let's gather ourselves together. Here are some ways how:

💼 

Professional & Advocacy Networks

  • Blacks in Government (BIG) – a national nonprofit supporting Black federal, state, and local employees. They often spotlight members’ career experiences. You can contact local chapters or post a request to speak with former federal employees.

  • National Urban League – through their workforce development or employment empowerment programs. (Call first to see if they still do this.)
  • Federal Employee Unions like AFGE (American Federation of Government Employees) or NTEU — many members are recently laid off or retired and may be open to interviews.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been on the International Space Station since June, were originally set to return to Earth using Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. However, due to issues with the Starliner’s thrusters and helium leaks, NASA decided to send Starliner back uncrewed, prioritizing astronaut safety. This change means that Wilmore and Williams will now remain on the ISS until at least February 2025, when they’re expected to return aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule that recently arrived as part of the Crew-9 mission 🚀 While extended stays at the ISS are routine for many astronauts, this situation is unique as it was initially unplanned.

SpaceX recently completed a successful splashdown, returning th...
