  • Do you want to build a better and more secure economic future for you and your family?

  • Have you ever been unfairly disciplined by your supervisor or forced to accept a demotion, suspension or other punishment you didn’t deserve?

If you answered yes to any of these questions it’s time to join AFSCME. With more than 1.6 million active and retired members nationwide, AFSCME is the strongest and most respected public services union in the country.

We consistently fight for and secure the best wages, benefits and working conditions for our members. Since so much of public service workers’ rights, benefits and funding are impacted by the actions of elected officials, we maintain a strong presence in the corridors of government, fighting to protect our members and holding politicians accountable for their actions.  

Get in touch with AFSCME Local 1363 to learn more. All conversations are strictly confidential and you will not be pressured to move forward until you are ready. We are already standing and fighting with you coworkers and look forward to doing the same with you!

We need to ramp up the pressure!

We need to ramp up the pressure!

We are fighting to #SavePublicServices. Thousands of AFSCME members have taken action by calling or writing their senators to tell them not to make drastic cuts to public services to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

But as Congress continues to debate these cuts, we need to keep up the pressure! Because this is about so much more than protecting the services our communities depend on.

It’s about fighting for the 15 million people — working families, children, seniors and vulnerable Americans — who will lose their health care if Congress slashes the budget. It’s about protecting Medicare, food assistance, and the programs many of us depend on to survive.  

Join us by emailing your senators and making your voice heard. It's easy and takes just a few minutes using the tool here. After you enter your information, the form will identify your senators, provide a draft email (which you are free to use, edit or replace), and send it.

It only takes a few minutes. Together, our voices can't be ignored.

Child Tax Credit Calculator

Child Tax Credit Calculator

AFSCME fought to pass the American Rescue Plan and it is already making a difference in the pandemic recovery effort. The child tax credit provides families with the largest tax credit in history. It not only increases the tax credit for families to $3,000 per child between 6-17 years old at the end of 2021 and $3,600 per child under 6 years old, it also allows half to be paid to families in advance through a monthly check or direct deposit. For more information about this relief provided by the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan, visit https://www.afscme.org/victory.
