Heads up, @cfaworkers has made a call for public support of their nascent union, which is facing union-busting tactics.

If you think civic tech workers deserve a union, this is the time to voice it to Code for America's leadership—specific instructions at the bottom of the post:

Code for America’s Private Actions Don’t Align with Our Public Values

Recent bargaining sessions have shown that—despite public assertions to the contrary—Code for America management is not interested in bargaining with our union in good faith. Code for America Workers United was founded with one clear goal in mind: to better live out our external values internally. With our clients and partners, we listen first, act with intention, and include those who have been excluded. It’s the animating mantra of our work, threaded through our design choices, engineering projects, and communications work.
