AFGE Family,
We recently marked a dark and unprecedented moment – for all of us at AFGE, and for working Americans nationwide.
Make no mistake: this isn’t just politics as usual. This administration is systematically targeting our constitutional rights. If they succeed here, the attack won’t stop at federal employees.
But our fight is far from over. This immoral, un-American attack will only strengthen the entire labor movement’s resolve to fight for workers across the federal government.
We must fight injustice everywhere it arises—whether it’s at federal agencies, in Congress and state legislatures, at the ballot box, in the streets, or on shop floors across the nation.
You can read all about it in the latest edition of the Government Standard.
Here’s a look at our featured stories:

But what’s not uncertain is the commitment of our members, and all federal and D.C. government employees, to continue working on behalf of all Americans.
