AFSCME Family –
We have much to celebrate this year! Despite slim pro-worker majorities in the House and Senate, our collective voice has been of great consequence to guarantee that Congress and the Biden administration keep their promises to working families. Your efforts have already helped move Congress to pass the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, confirm pro-worker members to the NLRB, and begin to rebalance the federal courts. In the words of President Biden, moving these bills and achieving greater economic security and support for workers and their families “is a big BIG DEAL”!

Thank you for all your contributions this past year. Your activism and hard work have ensured that your AFSCME family and all working families have a fighting chance. Your voice and your actions make these and other key victories possible. As we close the year, let’s ensure we make it very clear to Congress that AFSCME’s VOICE will be strong today and in the future!
In solidarity,
AFSCME Federal Government Affairs Team
