How are you all observing Transgender Awareness Week this year?

AFGE Pride is here to help with education, actions, and ideas for connecting and making space for effective representation of 2SLGBTQIA+ members, and would be happy to speak at an upcoming GMM as well!

"If there is one thing you can do in observance of Transgender Awareness Week this year, it is this: Take a moment to learn about transgender people—not the political talking points, not the legislation, but the real, live humans behind the headlines." www.newsweek.com/the-trevor-p...

Seems our federal dental and vision insurance benefits program didn't get the memo that the National Endowment for the Humanities fired 70% of our staff, rendering "Open Enrollment" irrelevant for most of us. 🤨 Is there any end to these insults? #NEH

"who radicalized you"

Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what their baristas make.

Together, we can make greedy bosses listen to working people.

Baristas are ready to strike for the fair contract they deserve—and America’s unions stand in solidarity with them. https://bit.ly/4oATdMu

AFGE Pride recognizes and stands in solidarity with our intersex siblings! We see you and honor you as a valued part of our community and our union.
A post honoring November 8th Intersex Day of Solidarity. The body of the post is the same as the text in the original message here. There is also a photo of the intersex pride flag flying against a blue sky and another of 6 hands on top of each other in a gesture of team solidarity. The AFGE Pride logo is also on the post.
