The Federal Harms Tracker is a new data and storytelling project developed by the Partnership for Public Service to demonstrate what is at stake when the federal government is weakened from within.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project documents how the Trump administration\u2019s unprecedented efforts to dismantle federal institutions, funding streams and infrastructure are disrupting critical public services and agency work. The tracker also illustrates how the consequences of these actions will ripple across communities for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the impact of government management decisions can often be abstract or difficult to trace, the erosion of government capacity has a measurable effect on the public. The Federal Harms Tracker makes the outcomes of these decisions visible by measuring and mapping cuts to federal personnel, funding and infrastructure. We pair this data with curated media reports and stories from our Service to America Medals<\/a>\u00ae program to reveal the tangible ways these reductions affect your government, your community and the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built with both immediate urgency and long-term vision, the Federal Harms Tracker is intended to help the public, the media and policymakers understand the damage already done and the risks ahead. Through this project and its suite of products, the Partnership will monitor the long-term implications of the Trump administration\u2019s actions and highlight how making our government less capable and effective reverberates far beyond Washington, D.C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
