🗳️ Your Voice. Your Choice. Your Vote. 🗳️

As November approaches, remember that democracy isn't a spectator sport—it's something we build together. Every single vote shapes the future of our communities, our schools, and our country.

Here is something many people don't realize: Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record.

When you participate, you show leaders that your community matters and needs to be heard. Don't leave your voice on the sidelines!

Check your registration status, make your plan, and make sure your ballot counts this election season.

America 250: Remembering Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Columbus Day

As October brings Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Columbus Day, we encourage one another to reflect on the pivotal moments that shaped our nation's history. We acknowledge the heritage, traditions, and vital contributions of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands for generations, alongside the historic turning point of Christopher Columbus’s transatlantic voyage, with its impact on global exploration and trade. We recognize this opportunity to deepen mutual understanding and enrich one another through shared experiences or discussion. We encourage our members to take time this month to learn, reflect, and honor the many legacies that built this country.

FEW remains proud to support a federal workforce dedicated to honoring history and strengthening our nation through service.

Honoring Latina Trailblazers in Public Service and Beyond

Continuing our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Federally Employed Women (FEW) recognizes the remarkable Latina leaders whose vision, dedication, and service have paved the way for generations of women in government and public leadership.

Today, we highlight a few of the trailblazing women who have shaped our nation's history and federal landscape:

• Dr. Ellen Ochoa: Engineer, veteran astronaut, and the first Latina in space, Dr. Ochoa went on to serve as the first Hispanic director (and second female director) of NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
• Aída Álvarez: The first Hispanic woman to hold a U.S. Cabinet-level position, serving as Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration from 1997 to 2001, where she advocated for small businesses and women entrepreneurs.
• The Honorable Sonia Sotomayor: Appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2009, Justice Sotomayor became the first Latina and third woman to serve on the nation's highest court following a distinguished career as a federal judge.
• Soledad Chacón: A pioneer in state government who became the first Hispanic woman elected to a statewide executive office in the United States as Secretary of State of New Mexico in 1922.

Their legacies remind us of the power of dedication, leadership, and public service. Who are the Hispanic leaders—past or present—who inspire your journey in public service? Let us know in the comments below!

As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month, the National Board of Directors for Federally Employed Women (FEW) proudly recognizes the enduring contributions, rich histories, and vibrant cultures of Hispanic and Latino Americans across our nation.

From the founding of our civil institutions to the modern public service workforce, Hispanic leaders, public servants, and community advocates have shaped the progress of our federal government and our country. Their dedication, resilience, and vision continue to strengthen our organizations and enrich the communities we serve.

This month, FEW honors the generations of Hispanic women and men who have paved the way in public service, leadership, and public policy. We invite our members and allies to join us in celebrating their achievements, honoring their legacies, and continuing to build a stronger, more united federal workforce together.
