Federal Employee Rights Speaking to Congress

We want to provide clarification on your right as a federal employee to petition and provide information to Congress including on issues impacting the federal workplace, Goddard and NASA. The right to do so is protected by law under 5  USC  7211 which states "The right of [US government] employees, individually or collectively, to petition Congress or a Member of Congress, or to furnish information to either House of Congress, or to a committee or Member thereof, may not be interfered with or denied." Note such activity is not partisan/political activity since it is not advocating for the election/non-election of a particular individual or a particular party to a political position and is therefore not subject to Hatch Act restrictions.
