Dear John,

While politicians are playing games, real Americans’ jobs, paychecks, and access to vital services are being threatened by a looming government shutdown. Now, White House OMB Director Russell Vought has announced his intention to pursue another DOGE-like round of illegal mass firings in the event of a shutdown, adding to the chaos.

The president and congressional leaders must sit down and negotiate in good faith to keep the lights on for the American people. Nothing less is acceptable.

Take action now button

Call your lawmakers NOW and tell them to fund the government, stop the chaos, and end the reckless and illegal impoundments, job cuts, attacks on unions, and pocket rescissions that are sowing confusion across agencies.

Federal employees are not bargaining chips. We are veterans, caregivers, law enforcement officers, and neighbors who serve our country and fellow Americans every day. We deserve stability and respect, not pink slips and political games.

For more information about how you can take action, including letter to the editor templates, talking points and posts to share on social media, visit www.afge.org/Shutdown.

In Solidarity,

AFGE
