For the last year and a half, federal employees have lived through hiring freezes, deferred resignations, probationary firings, and RIFs — and watched a court rule that tens of thousands of those firings were unlawful while almost no one got their job back. Civil Rights for Civil Servants is the answer to that moment: a podcast from Shaun Southworth and Lydia Taylor, two attorneys who represent federal employees and only federal employees, nationwide — putting fifteen years of fighting for feds to work for you.

In this pre-release introduction, Shaun lays out what the show is and how it works. Each episode opens with the Docket — the news feds are actually talking about, in plain English and what it means for you. Then the Case File: one legal strategy at a time, the steps, the deadlines, and the protections you need to know before you need them. We sit down with people worth hearing from, and we close with Ask Shaun and Lydia Anything — your questions, answered. Send yours anytime to advocate@southworthpc.com.

Episode one premieres Juneteenth, Friday, June 19th — a date we chose on purpose, with a few guests we think you'll want to hear. The show is proudly ad-free, sponsored by Southworth PC, with new episodes every other week.
