When the Representative's office answers, tell them this:

"Hello, my name is _____, and I'm a member of the American Federation of Government Employees from [Your City, State]. Please tell the Representative to vote NO on H.R. 1461. This bill does nothing to improve government. It is simply an attack my rights at work and my ability to provide quality service for the people I'm proud to serve. Thank you."

Call on your lunch and use your cell phone.

Don't call on duty time or with a government telephone.

UNION "YES"

Now is an important time to be an AFGE member, and we're not alone in thinking so!

At the end of January, AFGE welcomed 1,138 new members to our union family. That puts us at 311,180 members, another record high!

With every new member at AFGE, our voice gets louder and we strengthen our position at the negotiating table – whether that table's in Congress, at the White House, in our communities, or at the agency you work at.

“This is a continued testament to the growing strength of our movement,” said AFGE President J. David Cox Sr. “I am so grateful to each and every one of you for helping to grow AFGE and help our membership every day."

YOU’VE GOT MAIL!

OR NOT!

There's nothing worse than trying to reach out to one of your family members or friends, but realizing you don't have their current email, phone, or mailing address. When it comes to our union family, having accurate contact information is just as important.

That's why AFGE members voted at the 2015 National Convention to make January “Data Update Month.” And this year, when you update your profile with your contact information, you'll be put in a drawing for AFGE swag – and maybe even a brand new TV.

To kickoff 2017, we're asking every member of the AFGE family to take a couple minutes to update their contact information so we can mobilize members and spring into action when the time comes.

When you update your profile, you’ll be automatically entered in a drawing to win a brand new AFGE coffee mug. Each week up to 5 names will be drawn and winners will be announced on Facebook. To keep up with weekly drawings and to see if you’re the lucky winner, follow AFGE on Facebook.

The Deadline for updating your information is January 31st, so don't delay. Need Help? Contact us at comments@afge.org.
