You Got Mail,

OR NOT!

YOU'VE GOT MAIL
There's nothing worse than trying to reach out to one of your family members or friends, but realizing you don't have their current email, phone, or mailing address. When it comes to our union family, having accurate contact information is just as important.
 
That's why AFGE members voted at the 2015 National Convention to make January “Data Update Month.” 
 
To kickoff 2025, we're asking every member of the AFGE family to take a couple minutes to update their contact information so we can mobilize members and spring into action when the time comes.

Phonebank from Home- Monday 10/28

Dear AFGE Activist,

The 2024 election is less than two weeks away and there is so much at stake!

AFGE members, our families, and our communities are up against a lot. Rising inflation and economic inequality are making it harder for us to make ends meet. Attacks on voting rights are making it harder to ensure our voices are heard. Recent efforts across the country to roll back reproductive rights are jeopardizing women's health and compromising their futures. Project 2025 threatens to roll back the very existence of public sector unions. The list goes on.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed at the challenges we face. But we know that together we have the power to change things. In that spirit, WFP, AFGE Y.O.U.N.G. is coming together on Monday, October 28 starting at 7:00 pm (EST) to help turn voters out to the polls. We'll be working together to reach out to voters in a key battleground swing states.

Register here to join our virtual phone bank on Oct. 28 from 7-9pm EST.

We look forward to seeing you on October 28!

In Solidarity,

AFGE

SHOW ME THE MONEY

Money

As summer vacations fade into memory, we turn our attention to the remaining months of the year and all that’s left to accomplish. The good news is, we have a lot to celebrate as we head into fall.

We are this close to finalizing the largest raise for federal employees in 40 years – on top of a major expansion of the locality pay system that will mean higher wages for tens of thousands of employees in both the General Schedule and Wage Grade pay systems. We’ve also blown past our organizing goal for 2023 – with nearly half the year remaining – and are making personal connections with new and potential members that will only serve to strengthen the federation for years to come.

We’re breaking it all down in this latest issue of the Government Standard.
