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.

If enacted into law, PAWA would restore union protections for federal workers & require the Administration to honor collective bargaining agreements for the length of their stated terms. The bill passed the House on a bipartisan vote on December 11. We’re now urging the Senate to pass PAWA.

Research shows nearly 1 in 6 transgender Americans, and 1 in 2 Black transgender people, has been incarcerated at some point in their lives. The violence of the carceral system only deepens the harm faced by marginalized communities. This is not safety.
