Norton to Speak at National AFGE Conference, Sunday

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will speak at the American Federation of Government Employees' (AFGE) 2020 Legislative and Grassroots Mobilization Conference this Sunday, February 9th, at 1:15 p.m. The AFGE represents 700,000 federal and D.C. government employees in more than 70 different agencies. The Conference is expecting over 1,000 activists, including many of Norton's constituents from the District. Following the longest government shutdown in U.S. history last year, Norton helped secure backpay for federal workers.

"I look forward to joining our largest union in the federal sector representing both federal and District employees," Norton said. "AFGE members have suffered through the longest government shutdown in history, inspiring me to continue the fight with renewed energy to ensure the President does not hold our federal employees hostage yet again."
