We're now two weeks into the shutdown and have received a partial paycheck. Some of our coworkers at SSA are furloughed, most are working without pay, and we are all grappling with financial uncertainty with threats of not receiving backpay. This crisis is impacting each and every one of us. The only way through is together.
Join us this Wednesday for a town hall at 7 pm ET.
Our calls to demand Congress end this shutdown with a bipartisan agreement are growing. But we need to use this moment to lean into each other. Now is the time for material solidarity: We need to share resource ideas and build community with each other and our members, share what's working and where we still need to grow.
This coming Wednesday, join our Social Security Workers United town hall where we'll come together, brainstorm next steps, and share resource ideas with each other.
The only way we're going to get through is together, as a union.
Can you join us on Wednesday, October 15 at 7 pm ET? Register here, and please share with your coworkers.
In solidarity,
Rich Couture
President of AFGE Council 215
Jessica LaPointe
President of AFGE Council 220
