In a tremendous show of support for federal employees and the union that represents them, AFGE members and leaders received an unprecedented number of invitations to the State of the Union address on Feb. 5.
A total of 10 AFGE leaders, activists, and members attended the State of the Union Address as invited guests of senators and representatives from across party lines and the country.
They were in attendance to hear President Trump’s first national address since the conclusion of the 35-day shutdown that cost the economy $11 billion -- $3 billion of which we will never recover -- and led to 800,000 federal workers going without pay. Those AFGE members in attendance include:
AFGE thanks all the members of Congress who invited these dedicated public servants to attend the State of the Union Address with them.
“Our sisters and brothers joined the federal workforce because they believe in public service.
