FMA Action Letter August

Overview of this campaign

What Is Action Letter August? It’s FMA’s grassroots initiative to ask every FMA member to write each of our seven action letters during the month of August! (And then asking them to invite their colleagues, family, and friends to do the same!)

Why Participate? Sending action letters to members of Congress is a powerful tool FMA members have as constituents to voice their concerns and influence policy decisions impacting federal managers. When large numbers of people speak out together, it demonstrates widespread public support and increases pressure on lawmakers to act.

Who is this for? All FMA members and their colleagues, family, and friends (over the age of 18) who support federal workers!

What are the dates? This campaign will run in August 2025 (but we encourage FMA members to send action letters anytime they are inspired to let their elected leaders know about the issues that FMA cares about!)

How and where do we participate? Being mindful of the Hatch Act, all action letters should be sent from personal laptops, phones, and tablets and outside of a federal installation on FMA members’ own time.

Write letters for chance to win $100!

Every FMA member who sends an action letter in August via the FMA action letter portal will be entered in a drawing to win one of three $100 AmEx gift cards, compliments of FMA-PAC. A member can receive up to seven entries in the raffle (one for each of the unique action letters currently available on FMA’s action letter portal).

(Note: while we enthusiastically encourage colleagues, family, and friends of FMA members to send a letter [or all seven!] in support of the federal worker community, those wonderful people are not eligible for the raffle.)

Chapter (and Region) Bragging Rights!

1) Chapter sending the highest volume of letters

2) Chapter sending the highest percentage of letters sent in relation to their membership. (This one is for you, small & medium chapters. For instance, if 19 or 20 members send a letter, that’s 95 percent!)

3) Region sending the most letters

FMA HQ will send a box of FMA Swag goodies from our current FMA Swag inventory to the chapter winners in each category above, and both chapters will be invited to help select an FMA Swag item for the 2026 FMA Swag Catalog!

A Call to Action for 100 Percent Participation

To have every FMA chapter send at minimum one letter would make the Action Letter August campaign feel like a true TEAM FMA Victory!
