We are still here, Union Membership is More Important Than Ever; Join AFGE Today!

For nine months, the administration has relentlessly attacked federal employees’ jobs, dignity, and the rights to belong to a union. They have slashed essential services provided to the American people and have made it clear that they have no plans on stopping.

The most important way for employees to protect their paychecks and have a voice on the job is through union membership. The only way AFGE can continue to fight for its members and federal workers in the workplace, in the courts, in the media, on Capitol Hill, and in the streets is if we have a strong, mobilized membership.

The Trump administration is just getting started, making good on its promises to dismantle federal agencies while firing and traumatizing the workforce. AFGE has been fighting back and winning in court.

AFGE has accomplished significant wins as the leader in the fight to protect federal employees’ jobs and services. Union membership is more important than ever.

The time to join a union is NOW!

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

June is a time to honor and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, remembering the 1969 Stonewall Uprising when trans and q***r people bravely stood up against police harassment in New York City. Their courage sparked a movement for equality that continues to inspire us today.

Let’s celebrate love, authenticity, and the progress we’ve made, while continuing to support and uplift one another. 🏳️‍🌈💖

Mindful Moment of the Day!

Constant Teams pings, text alerts, and nonstop email notifications can keep your brain in a jumpy, half-focused state all day. Try scheduling one or two short “notification-off” blocks, about 20–30 minutes where you silence the alerts, take a steady breath, and give your full attention to one priority. When you feel the urge to check your phone, notice it like an itch and let it pass without reacting. Focus is a skill. Train it the way you’d train a service dog: gently, consistently, and with patience.

Give yourself permission to be fully present with your work and with the people around you. Your mind and your mission, deserve that clarity.

If you didn't know TSP will allow Roth “in-plan conversions,” but converting can create a tax bill if you don’t plan ahead.

You may soon see a new TSP option to move pre-tax (traditional) money into Roth that can increase your taxable income for the year you convert.

Before you act, think about timing, your tax bracket, and whether you need to adjust withholding.

Save screenshots or confirmations of any TSP transactions you make.

A Roth conversion is mainly a tax decision: converting traditional (pre-tax) money usually counts as taxable income in the year of the conversion. The money stays in the plan, but the IRS still treats the conversion as income. Practical steps: read the TSP’s official guidance first, run a simple projection, and avoid large conversions without checking the tax impact. If you’re unsure, consider speaking with a qualified tax professional or fiduciary planner familiar with federal benefits.
