We’re grateful for AFSCME members like Economic Support Specialist Zab Martinez, who works to connect people in need with access to food assistance and health care. With just hours to go until SNAP benefits freeze for 42 million Americans, Zab gives us a snapshot of what things are like on the ground — and people are scared.

Don't let Congress take health care, food and jobs from working families! Call Congress today and tell them no cuts to public services to pay

With the future of public safety on the line, AFSCME members in corrections are getting organized to beat back the private prison industry once again. “The verdict is in: for-profit prisons are more dangerous, pay less to their employees, and have higher re-offending rates.
