A Voice on Capitol Hill
When you join AFGE, not only do you amplify your voice on the job, you amplify it in our democracy. At a time when corporations and moneyed interests seek to drown out the concerns of working people in our legislative process to profit from the government services you provide, our members and staff work tirelessly to make sure federal employees are heard by our elected officials.
Our members and staff represent you and your fellow government employees to our elected officials in congressional districts nationwide and in our nation’s capital. AFGE members and leaders meet yearly in Washington, D.C. for our Legislative & Grassroots Mobilization Conference, where they engage our representatives and senators in person to advocate for America’s federal employees.
Winning Together
With over 750,000 represented employees, we are America’s most influential union of federal and D.C. government employees. Our members and staff work directly with agencies to improve working conditions, lobby in the halls of power at the White House and U.S. Capitol, and litigate in court for government employees.
When you join AFGE, you join a community of hundreds of thousands of your fellow federal workers as well as build power at your worksite and in your community, state, and country. As an AFGE member, you will have peace of mind knowing that you are not alone in the fight for fair treatment at your agency. Union membership also means you are eligible for multiple financial and personal benefits. Our members come from all backgrounds and walks of life, united in building a government that works for working people.
