Give Federal Employees a Pay Raise in 2027

A federal paycheck reading 2027 pay 0% frozen in a block of ice beside rising bills, with the headline Give Federal Employees a Pay Raise in 2027

Do you want a meaningful pay raise in 2027? Take a few minutes to enter your name and address and send a prepared email to your two U.S. senators and your representative in Congress, urging them to support a meaningful federal employee pay raise.

President Trump has proposed a pay freeze for most civilian federal employees in 2027, while providing a 3.8 percent raise for certain federal law enforcement personnel. We should all receive a meaningful pay raise of 4.1 percent, as proposed under the FAIR Act. This is especially important with our share of health insurance premiums rising another 10.9 percent and the cost of living continuing to climb.

In other words, a pay freeze is a pay cut. But the President does not have the final say. Congress has the power to intervene, and we have a voice through our elected representatives. In 2019, Congress gave federal employees a 1.9 percent raise, retroactive to January, after the President proposed zero.

Lawmakers are back in Washington to finish the 2027 spending bills. Now is when they need to hear from us.

You can send the prepared email as written or make changes. It's entirely up to you.

Then share this page with your coworkers, your local, and every federal employee you know. Our goal is 10,000 emails.
