Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) offices across the U.S. on Monday (March 3) to protest mass layoffs amid reported public sector cuts.
In Silver Spring, Maryland, protesters rallied under the slogan “Save NOAA Now!”, calling for the immediate reinstatement of dismissed workers and opposing further reductions.
“NOAA is critical—from ensuring the safety of our seafood to providing life-saving hurricane forecasts,” said demonstrator Mike Tidwell. “This agency plays a vital role in our lives, and we need to keep it strong.”
Former NOAA employee Hendrick Simoes, who lost his job just days earlier, warned of the broader consequences.
“NOAA impacts every aspect of life in America,” he said. “With these layoffs, we’re a less safe society, and we’re more vulnerable to extreme weather.”
Protesters held banners and chanted in support of NOAA employees, with many highlighting the agency’s crucial role in weather forecasting, environmental research, and public safety. The layoffs, which affected hundreds of workers last week, have sparked concerns about the country’s ability to respond to natural disasters and climate-related threats.
