WASHINGTON — Current and former FEMA employees held a solidarity rally outside the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters last Friday, calling out Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and FEMA administrator David Richardson for their policies and what protesters say is a lack of qualifications.
Public signers of the Katrina Declaration, which called out the Trump administration for reversing progress on disaster management, were placed on leave without explanation in August. Some of those public signers spoke out at the rally, demanding answers and expressing their desire to return to work.
