AFSCME members, unafraid to speak up, are ‘fearlessly loud’

When something’s wrong on the job, AFSCME members speak up. And when something’s wrong in our communities, AFSCME members lead the way to fix those problems.  

Being an AFSCME member means committing “your life to public service,” said Lora Osborne, a member of AFSCME Council 28 in Washington state, who opened the “Fearlessly Loud” program.  

“Because we spend our time working on behalf of the people around us, they look to us for leadership. And AFSCME members, time and time again, step up when we’re asked. Because we’re fearless,” she said.  

As Zuri McCormack, a member of Council 17 from Louisiana, said, “We aren’t afraid to testify to our school boards, our city councils, our state legislators or Congress. We lobby our lawmakers. We speak out at rallies. We stand up for what is right.”
