Dear AFSCME members in Missouri:

In the wake of the death of cultural icon, Dolly Parton, remember who slashed funding for her Imagination Library program.

Books and reading are fundamental for kids at an early age. Support children and learning.

AFSCME Afscme Local 500

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library promises to keep sending free books to kids, but the program has been weakened by budget cuts.

That’s a wrap on the 47th AFSCME International Convention! ✊💚

What an incredible convention!! From powerful discussions and important resolutions to connecting with AFSCME members from across the country, this week was a great reminder of the strength we have when we stand together.

We’re heading home energized, inspired, and ready to keep organizing, fighting, and standing up for working people across Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas.

A huge thank you to everyone who represented AFSCME Council 61 and helped make this convention one to remember!

Now it’s time to get back to work… but not before we say:
