Elon Musk will have to testify over his role in shuttering USAID, a federal judge has ruled. The DOJ tried to protect Musk from testifying, arguing it would “intrude on White House activities," but given Musk wasn’t a secretary or agency head, this reasoning doesn't excuse him. trib.al/MAY31hu

Federal workers like Abi are speaking out after the murder of union member and VA nurse Alex Pretti, whose killing by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis sparked vigils and protests across the country. #JusticeForAlexPretti #UnionStrong #Solidarity

This is a win for public service & federal workers who provide critical life-saving support for communities. From disaster response to healthcare, federal workers provide the public services that save lives. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026... #supportfederalworkers #savepublicservice

Communities in Minnesota & across the U.S. are mobilizing for coordinated economic blackouts as part of a “Day of Truth and Freedom”. This national moment of solidarity calls for courageous, nonviolent, lawful action against ICE’s violence. Here's 1 way to show up: actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-t...

We're rallying in DC TOMORROW, Jan. 21, to demand the reinstatement of attorneys Paul Osadebe & Palmer Heenan, two whistleblowers at HUD who exposed the Trump administration's Fair Housing Act violations. Join us at 8AM across from the USCP headquarters: actionnetwork.org/events/petit...

Solidarity WORKS. After collective organizing + pressure, HHS rescinded layoff notices for workers at CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health. This victory for NIOSH workers reminds us: when federal workers organize, we can stop reckless cuts & defend public health. #unionstrong

Today federal union leadership, rank‑and‑file workers & allies rallied in Washington, DC to support the Protect America’s Workforce Act. Over 1 million federal workers lost bargaining rights after the Trump administration stripped them in 2025, and they must be restored. #PassPAWA #PAWAToThePeople

HAPPENING NOW: Fired HUD whistleblowers join @senatorwarren.substack.com.web.brid.gy hearing to discuss the Trump administration's Fair Housing Act violations. WATCH LIVE: youtube.com/live/XhewYAS...

Today, a Senate Hearing delves into the Trump administration's violations of fair housing law. Attorneys who were illegally fired from the Dept. of Housing & Urban Development will testify to @senatorwarren.substack.com.web.brid.gy. Watch: youtube.com/live/XhewYAS...

Come protest federal worker rights being stripped THIS Wednesday at noon in DC. It's worth taking an hour of PTO to stand up to illegal actions & be in solidarity with federal workers across the government. Bit.ly/PAWArally #supportfederalworkers #savepublicservices

Amid relentless attacks from the Trump administration, federal workers spoke up & spoke out. In 2025, we appeared in major news outlets to share the truth about public services like SNAP, civil rights enforcement, healthcare access, emergency services & much more. #supportfederalworkers

Last year, Donald Trump stripped union rights from over 1 million federal workers, but we’re fighting to get them back. Join us in DC Jan. 14 at 12 PM to rally for the Protect America’s Workforce Act. REGISTER: actionnetwork.org/events/rally... #PassPAWA #PAWAToThePeople

FUN grew exponentially this year. Federal workers from dozens of agencies organized across the nation to defend public services, democracy & federal workers’ rights. This year, federal workers showed the nation exactly who we are - people who continually show up for our communities & each other.

The Trump administration has completely abandoned enforcement of the Fair Housing Act, a key Civil Rights era achievement. That's left Kenneth Hansbrough, a blind wheelchair user, trapped in an apartment that puts his safety at risk. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

“The government is shutting down HUD systemically,” a housing lawyer told me. “It rolls back the clock to the pre-Civil Rights age.” www.thenation.com/article/poli...

HUD is investigating the city of Boston for alleged housing discrimination, accusing officials of pushing “racial equity into every layer of operations in City government” and favoring Black and Latino residents in some programs.

Let's celebrate! Join us SUNDAY 12/14, at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT for an all-FUNners Year in Review. This virtual meeting ends 2025 on a FUN note. Federal employees & allies across the country will gather to uplift & reflect on what we've accomplished - and survived - together. Sign up: bit.ly/AllIn4FUN

Today is the 68th anniversary of the creation of the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and over 200 recent employees have shared an open letter decrying the near-destruction of the division’s mission and expressing the hope to one day rebuild it.

Federal workers know where the cracks run deepest, the pain hits hardest & the greatest possibilities lie. In 2025 our agencies were hollowed out, weakened & stripped of the tools needed to serve the public well. But we're here to strengthen what federal workers are building – from the inside out.

Read the full poll: www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2025/11/medicare-for-all-is-popular-even-when-put-up-against-attacks

We also find that support for Medicare for All is resilient, even after voters hear opposing arguments that the plan would “raise taxes and give the government too much control over health care.”

NEW: A majority of voters (63%) support a Medicare for All system that would: - Eliminate most private insurance plans - Replace premiums with higher taxes - Guarantee health coverage for everyone - Eliminate most out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles

Federal workers continue to be targeted for protecting critical public services. Workers at FEMA who defended disaster funding are now on administrative leave for a 2nd time. But federal workers stand with communities & we will not be silent. We stand with these workers. thehill.com/policy/energ...

Public service is a public good. Federal workers protect SNAP, civil rights enforcement, healthcare access, emergency services, safety inspections & veterans’ programs - the safety nets communities rely on. We remain committed to public service, even when our jobs & stability are on the line.

DOGE & Trump's billionaire agenda hollowed out & weakened our government agencies, stripping public services of the basic tools federal workers need to serve the public well. But we will keep fighting for a government that works for all people. #savepublicservices www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

2025 has been a long, heavy stretch. Since January, federal workers have taken hit after hit, yet we continue to show the country exactly who we are. We will continue to use our collective power to rebuild & fight for a government that works for everyone. #unionstrong #supportfederalworkers

TONIGHT: Join FUN as we introduce Government for the People, our new policy & practice lab to embolden a vision for a government designed for the public good—equitable, accountable + powered by the people. THURSDAY, Nov. 20 at 8:30 PM Eastern Register here for the first session👉bit.ly/G4PIntro20

INTRODUCING: Government for the People, a new policy + practice lab to turn insight into a blueprint for a gov't that reflects & meets communities' real needs. Federal workers have a bold vision for a gov't designed for the public good—equitable, accountable & powered by the people. Join us!

While families scrambled to feed their kids during Republicans' govt shutdown, Trump and USDA were trying to silence SNAP workers like Ellen from speaking out. This retaliatory firing is egregious and a violation of her right to free speech. She must be reinstated immediately.

Trump's retaliatory firing of my constituent Ellen for exercising free speech is egregious & dangerous. That’s why I’m fighting for Ellen & every federal worker unjustly fired. USDA must immediately reinstate her & allow her to continue serving our communities and country.

Boston federal workers, members of Congress & allies rally to protect SNAP & defend Ellen Mei. Mei is being targeted for termination for speaking up while the Trump administration deliberately attacks working families & the people who serve them. Sign our pledge: actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...

From @washingtonpost: A SNAP federal worker faces termination over raising concerns about SNAP cuts, staffing shortages and disruptions to food security services. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... Our statement here: www.federalunionists.net/press/statem... #savepublicservices #unionstrong

A federal SNAP employee who warned the public about the nation’s hunger crisis now faces termination, launching a rally in Boston on Friday Nov 14. Federal workers & allies are rallying to call for reinstating Ellen Mei, restoring staff + funding at FNS offices & protecting federal workers’ rights.

Federal workers hold the line while the Trump administration dismantles public services & threatens programs millions depend on. We will keep pushing for a government that meets peoples' needs & serves everyone — not just billionaires. Join us: www.federalunionists.net/join-us #wetookanoath

The Trump Administration continues to weaponize healthcare & hunger. But federal workers are fighting with frustration + resolve for a gov't with public services, federal worker rights + affordable healthcare. Join us TONIGHT for a town hall & learn how we can win: actionnetwork.org/events/shutd...

FUNners raised over $1,000 in 4 days for working families in Philly, thanks to our partners & allies! As working families grapple with the Trump administration dismantling critical public services, federal workers live our oath to serve — by feeding the families Trump abandons. #wetookanoath

Danny is a Marine veteran + a dedicated federal worker. Veterans make up about 30% of the federal workforce, & many public services provide healthcare + benefits for those who served our country. This Veterans Day, we recommit to serving those who’ve served us — with fairness, dignity, & respect.

Congress caved to Trump's authoritarian regime instead of fixing the nation's hunger & healthcare crisis. But federal workers continue to hold the line for critical public services we all depend on. Join FUN TOMORROW for a town hall discussion + next steps: actionnetwork.org/events/shutd...

Despite Congress caving to Trump's bully tactics, federal workers vow to fight for a government that protects public services & equity, restores federal worker rights + makes health care affordable for Americans. We will hold the line, even past the shutdown. JOIN: actionnetwork.org/events/shutd...

Congress is extending the Trump Administration’s confusion, chaos & cruelty by weaponizing healthcare & hunger. But federal workers say they will continue fighting against the dismantling of the programs they are sworn to protect. Read our statement: www.federalunionists.net/press/statem...

FEDERAL WORKERS: The Trump administration has spent 2025 shutting down the gov't, piece by piece. Any budget passed on Trump's terms could permanently close nearly all public services. Join us WEDNESDAY for a FUN Town Hall about the shutdown + what's next. REGISTER: actionnetwork.org/events/shutd...

Trump's shutdown continues to cause for 42 million people across America, using food aid as leverage while he wages a power grab for himself & his cronies. But federal workers are holding the line for critical public services, including SNAP & healthcare. WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zFi...

FUNners in Philly are launching a food drive to raise $1,000 for families! Federal workers are upholding our oath to serve this country by feeding the families this administration has abandoned. While Trump builds ballrooms, we feed people. Donate here: secure.philabundance.org/site/TR;jses...

Trump is forcing more hardship on federal workers + working families while dismantling the services we all rely on. Trump's shutdown - now the longest in U.S. history - withholds critical public services in favor of billionaire handouts. But federal workers are standing strong and holding the line.

NEW: Almost six weeks in, Trump's shutdown strategy is clear: He's willing to stretch the budget, but only for political gain and retribution. For others, like the 42 million on food stamps, he has offered no relief, and sought to enact cuts Congress did not approve www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/u...

1 in 8 people rely on SNAP benefits - it's a safety net for people in every corner of the country. Delaying SNAP funds is a deliberate attack on working families, low-income communities & the people who serve them. We must hold the line to protect these critical services. www.npr.org/2025/10/31/n...

Federal employees are receiving renewed furlough notices, and this time, there’s no guarantee of back pay in them. Sr. Correspondent Eric Katz explains it all here: buff.ly/Ildewii #FederalEmployees #Furlough #BackPay #shutdown

When our so-called leaders step away from a crisis, federal workers & allies step up. Through The People's Pantry, we've raised nearly $20,000 + 1,600 lbs of food in 1 week for working families around Washington, DC. And we're just getting started. Join us! #supportfederalworkers #savepublicservices
