Health care funding saves lives. Period. It’s how state workers and AFSCME members like Annita Martinez help their patients get the quality of health care they need. The yes-men in Congress cut billions in funding for health care that will burden workers with skyrocketing costs and force hospitals and health centers to close. That's why tomorrow, we're mobilizing to tell them to lower health care costs! Join AFSCME members like Annita for a Day of Action by calling your member of Congress. Deman

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. This is all thanks to the anti-worker lawmakers who forced a shutdown and as a result, cut off access to food assistance for millions. Working families deserve better. Dial

Many of the families AFSCME child care providers work with rely on Medicaid and food assistance to survive. Cutting these programs means cutting lifelines for some of the most underserved and overlooked in our communities. Child care providers will feel the impact as many of them also rely on these programs to provide quality care or to survive themselves. 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. And they don’t save a single dime for taxpayers,” said Padraic Lyman, the president of AFSCME Local 775 (Council 82) and a corrections officer in Albany, New York. “We need to stand united and protect our freedoms at work, be
