John,
Make no mistake – this is a busy time for AFGE activists and members. We are breaking organizing records month over month as we strive to recruit 325,000 members by next year, we have expanded our representation to cover nearly 40,000 health care workers across the Department of Defense, and we are just a month away from gathering in Las Vegas for our 43rd National Convention.
Here’s a look at our featured stories:
Every three years, delegates representing AFGE’s more than 300,000 dues-paying members gather to elect the federation’s three national officers and chart the union’s course for the future. We break down all the key convention happenings and what to look out for, whether you’re attending or watching from the sidelines.

Communications is a vital function at every level of AFGE. How we communicate with one another – whether it’s through face-to-face meetings, newsletters, flyers, or digital tools – shapes our connection with AFGE members locally and across the nation. Using social media is a perfect way to communicate our messaging and engage with members and the public in a way that is quick and cost effective.
