39. ‘Hear Them’ - Cheyenne Beach: Amplifying federal conservation workers voices 🗣️🙋♀️🦆
<p>39. ‘Hear Them’ - Cheyenne Beach: Amplifying federal conservation workers voices 🗣️🙋♀️🦆</p><p><br /></p><p>This episode is dedicated to all the federal conservation and outdoor recreation workers across the U.S. facing challenges today. </p><p>Welcome to the first in a mini-series of Field Stories called "Hear Them," where we spotlight the wrongful terminations and hiring freezes plaguing the federal workforce. Through this series, we aim to shed light on the injustices our colleagues are enduring and offer a platform for their voices to be heard.</p><p><br /></p><p>As of February 14, 2025, Cheyenne Beach became one of the many federal conservation and outdoor employees who were unjustly laid off. Today, we’ve given Cheyenne a platform to share her personal journey and the devastation she’s felt since that day. Her story is one that resonates deeply with thousands of federal workers who are living through the same struggles right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheyenne’s story is heartbreaking, but it’s also a call to action. Her loss mirrors the pain many others in our field are experiencing. We ask you to listen, empathize, and get angry with us. This is an injustice we cannot ignore. Stories like Cheyenne's show the very real human impact of these decisions, and they’re a reminder of why we must stand up and fight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheyenne is a remarkable individual—kind, intelligent, and hardworking—who deserves so much more than this. Despite the hardships, she remains determined to push for justice in these difficult times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her courage to continue the fight is a message we all need to hear: We will not quit.</p><p>Follow Field Stories - </p><p>Instagram - @field_stories_podcast</p><p>Hosted by Chris (@chrisketola), Michela (@michiganbiologist) and Nick (@nick_smith_wildlife_photos)</p><p><br /></p><p>Theme Music:</p><p>"Honey Bee" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)</p><p>Licensed under Creative Commons:</p><p>By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/</p><p>licenses/by/4.0/</p>
