AFSCME Texas Chapter 12 recognizes the resilience of those who survived unimaginable conditions and emphasize that freedom and fair work are intertwined. Juneteenth celebrates the freedom for Black workers to enjoy the fruits of their labor, while acknowledging persistent economic disparities. Only together can we move forward.

This Juneteenth, we celebrate the resilience and leadership of black workers who’ve paved the way for freedom and equal opportunities for all. Let us honor them by recommitting ourselves to the fight for safe working conditions and fair pay for working people.

In our last virtual membership meeting, AFSCME Texas Retirees hosted Gina Hinojosa for a conversation about the issues impacting retirees and working families across Texas.

In this short clip, Gina speaks directly about retirement security and the importance of protecting the dignity of public servants who spent their careers serving our communities.

As part of our endorsement process, AFSCME Texas Retirees reaches out directly to candidates and evaluates where they stand on key retiree issues, including a 13th check, cost-of-living adjustments, healthcare costs, and protecting the ERS fund. Candidates considered for endorsement or platforming complete a questionnaire as part of that process.

We believe retirees deserve leaders who will listen, engage, and stand with us.
