Public Service Recognition Week

In honor of Public Service Recognition Week, NTEU is launching a social media campaign to highlight the vital contributions of civil servants.

We need your voices. We have three small requests:  

1. Please record yourself stating why you chose to become a civil servant in 3 sentences or less on your mobile phone. Please start your statement with the following, “I serve because…”
2. Please record yourself stating what you do for the federal government and how it serves the American people in 3-5 sentences. Please start your statement with the following: “I’m a federal worker and I…”
3. Friday, May 9 will be NTEU’s first #FedStrongFriday. Please take a photo of yourself wearing an NTEU sweatshirt, button, pin, or holding a sign and send it to NTEU along with any social media handles you have. We will share these on social media platforms in the coming weeks and months as part of NTEU’s #FedStrongFridays campaign.

Please record either one or both of statements in plain language. All videos and photos can be sent to memberstories@nteu.org. We will share these next week on our social media platforms and also as part of our Faces of the Federal Workforce campaign.

Also, five years ago today, during his first term, President Trump released a proclamation lauding the work of civil servants and their contributions to this nation. We thought it’d be fitting to remind him that nothing has changed in the last five years—every single one of us has worth, value, and vital contributions to make to this nation. Please watch—and share—this video reiterating that point.
