As people in public service, we know what a difference it makes when we elect leaders who have our backs. We deserve leaders who respect our work and that’s why we fight. 

AFSCME uses voluntary contributions collected through its PEOPLE program, not dues, to contribute to candidates for federal office and in certain states where other funding is restricted. In other states, AFSCME may use dues money to support candidates who support improving public services. 

AFSCME makes this information public with IRS and U.S. Department of Labor filings, along with all other information on how union dues are spent.
