Introducing “Falls Church Federal Voices”

The editors of Falls Church Pulse have been thinking about how this publication might assist our readers who are federal employees or working for government contractors during these tumultuous times. We would like to offer the Pulse as a place where you can share your experience with the new administration, the work you have done on behalf of the country, and what your efforts have meant to the public.

We believe a record should be kept of the impact of actions now being taken and hope publishing your stories might provide some small validation for the importance of your work. Your professional and personal lives matter—certainly to you and your family, but also to your community, tied as they are to the well being of the City of Falls Church, an area of focus for the Pulse.

Stories from federal employees and contractors

We will collect these stories of 500 words or less using a secure Google form. We ask for your name, address, and email only to confirm that you live in the City and to communicate with you, as needed. We will not publish your name with your submission unless you want us to do so. Your story will be published in a new section of the Pulse website called “Falls Church Federal Voices.” Please click here to submit your stories. Thank you for your contributions, and please let us know what you think of this feature at fallschurchpulse@gmail.com.
