Dear John,
On behalf of AFGE’s Women’s and Fair Practices Departments (WFP), we would like to say thank you for your service in representing federal and DC government workers and to encourage you to stay connected and ready with AFGE. One way to stay more involved and work with WFP is by joining and participating in one of the many constituency groups that represent the diversity of our union.
Below you will find information for each of the constituency groups, to include links to our website and social media pages, registration for our virtual monthly meetings open to our AFGE members and their allies, and additional resources that highlight the work and goals of these groups to date.
The Zoom links are new, therefore, if you were part of constituency group meeting invitations in the past, that previous meeting link will no longer work. The virtual meetings have gone to a webinar format in order to make it easier for you to join a meeting, receive reminder emails for the upcoming monthly meetings, and to add you to our ongoing email groups for future communications.
In Solidarity,
AFGE’s Women’s and Fair Practices Departments
