Yesterday marked six months since I lost my job at the Department of Justice. A question I get all the time is “what are you doing now?” It should be an easy one to answer, but it’s not. My work as a lawyer has always been more than a job. It’s given me meaning, purpose, and identity. The sense of loss I still feel, six months later, is immense. I know I’m not alone in this. Public servants pour their hearts and souls into their work—not for the money but for the mission. I’m sure that many other feds who have been fired or displaced can relate.
Day by day, I’m working to regain my purpose and find my new mission. Stay tuned for more Lawyer Oyer content. I’m so grateful to all of you who are supporting me on this journey. Please take a moment to watch this short video if you can. Thank you.
You deserve better! I’m a retired Federal Employee and I am Proud of My Work. I don’t care what this so called administration thinks of Federal Employees! I know how hard they work for the American people! We will be on the Right Side of History!
Liz, you have boundless courage, compassion, and integrity!
You have taught me so much about the law, ways to stand with our fellow citizens who need true justice, and how to use what we have, where we are, to make a difference!
I know you're listening with the ears of your heart for a vocational call that serves your love of justice and community! ❤️
