OUR WORK: DEFEND AND REBUILD
Federal Unionists Network
Branch4 is the home of FUN, a network organizing 17,000+ federal workers to build a powerful labor movement at the heart of a thriving democracy. Through bottom-up union organizing, education, and mutual support, FUN empowers workers to defend public services and drive a more just, equitable, and accountable government—from the inside out.
Workplace organizing with an Oath Renewal campaign and the Stop the RIFS campaign which will create FUN Hubs and build a stronger base of federal workers organizing.
Agency-wide initiatives organizing actions targeting political appointees from mid to high level for Save our Services campaign (increasing political costs for undermining agency missions).
Strategic communications and storytelling to spotlight the lived experiences of federal workers and the essential role they play in securing a healthy, just, and democratic society through speaker’s bureau, podcasts, SM and video production and digital content.
The Fed Collective
The Fed Collective will provide coordination and collective resources to pro-equity and democracy organizing efforts by federal workers. The Collective will facilitate strategic conversation, curate resources, and offer communications and cultural organizing support these efforts. As part of the Collective, you’ll be able to access:
•Curated resources including a joint calendar and tracker of federal worker organizing efforts, as well as direct communications and cultural organizing support.
•Analysis to develop an understanding of anti-authoritarian strategies in organizing.
•Coordinated information sharing and convenings.
Democracy from Within
We are building a bold new vision for the administrative branch—led by those who serve the public every day—to transform it into a powerful engine of equity and democratic governance. Through participatory research, visionary design, and collaborative prototyping, the program empowers public servants to identify barriers and design justice-centered solutions from within. By connecting federal workers with communities and local leaders to assess how institutions function and what they need to succeed, we will chart a path toward a more responsive, accountable, and people-powered government.
Volunteer-Led Research & Visioning Circles focusing on both sectoral change and cross-cutting themes to identify areas of work
