My name is Everett Kelley, and I am the national president of the American
Federation of Government Employees. I represent 820,000 federal and DC
government workers―and we are being attacked by Donald Trump and Elon Musk
in retaliation against AFGE members standing courageously against the
reckless attempts to privatize and politicize government agencies.

Our union has been beating them in court, so now they want to get rid of
our union.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez at a Fight Oligarchy rally in Folsom, California. 26,000
people turned out to see us. I want you to see what I told them. [ [link removed] ]Would
you watch my speech, and then chip in to the Federal Worker Defense Fund
to help our union keep standing up to Trump and Musk?

Donald Trump’s unprecedented executive order targets the union rights of
over a million American workers, a third of whom are veterans. Trump wants
you to believe that after nine decades, throughout wars, terrorist
attacks, and pandemics, our union is suddenly a threat to national
security.

Give me a break.

We’re fighting them in court. And we’re going to win. But it’s going to be
a marathon―not a sprint. Here’s the challenge: Our members ordinarily pay
their dues automatically, through their paychecks. But Trump’s
unprecedented executive order ended that. So right when we’re facing the
fight of our lives, our union is scrambling to contact every single member
to help them sign up to pay their dues by credit card, instead of the
simple paycheck deductions they’re used to.

That’s why we partnered with The Labor Force to set up the Federal Worker
Defense Fund. Because we are going to keep fighting―but we need to be able
to keep our team together in the meantime.

Progressive Change Campaign Committee to help protect American workers?

This fight isn’t just about our union, or even our government. It’s about
the millions of Americans who believe in democracy. Together, we will
deliver this message: Federal workers will not be intimidated. We will not
be silenced. We’ll stand up and we’ll say Hands Off Our Union! Hands Off
Our Democracy!

We won’t let them dismantle Social Security and steal from seniors who
worked hard all their lives. We won’t let them steal benefits from
veterans who served our country with honor. We won’t let them cut agencies
that protect us from pollution and disease, and we won’t let them abolish
the agency that keeps workers safe on the job.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want us to shut up, but instead, we are going
to stand up. That’s what unions do.
