Join us on Saturday for a block walk supporting Prop Q. See below for details.

The FY25-26 COA budget is passed — and the TRE is officially headed to Austin voters.

AFSCME 1624 helped secure major wins for City workers and our community.

Now, we turn to the next fight — winning the TRE! When workers rise, Austin rises with us.

AFSCME 1624 members showed up strong today at Austin City Hall — standing shoulder to shoulder for higher wages, job protections, and the services our community counts on. @afscme.bsky.social

💚 AFSCME 1624 joined together at City Hall today for a strong TRE, fair wages, and a commitment to the services & jobs that keep Austin running. When we invest in city workers, we build strong communities. @afscme.bsky.social #afscmestrong #cityofaustin #afscme

@afscme 1624 member B. Ray—an Austin Energy electrical supervisor—was hit hard by flooding in Liberty Hill on July 5. In minutes, 4ft of water took over his home. He, his wife, and kids were rescued, but his home suffered damage.

We visited him today—he’s ok, cleaning up, and in good spirits.

🌈✊ AFSCME 1624 showed up proud at today’s SEEN Pride Luncheon! When we fight for equality, we fight for all workers — because dignity on the job includes being seen, valued, and respected. #PrideMonth #AFSCMEStrong #AustinTX #cityofaustin

City workers spoke out on pay, staffing & frontline conditions—and Council listened. Powerful night of unity, truth, and action. The Green Machine rolls on. 💚

VICTORY: The Refugee Clinic stays open (for now).

AFSCME 1624 members stood up, spoke out, and won a lifeline (until Sept. 30)

Workers keep their jobs. Refugees keep their care.
This is what union power looks like.
