Members of AFGE Local 2157 in Portland Oregon got together to send postcards to their congressional representatives and OPM Director Scott Kupor to protest the Federal Employees Healthcare Benefits ban on gender-affirming healthcare coverage. We know this care saves lives and taxpayers' money!

Two postcards on a table. One has a fist against a transgender pride flag background that says "Equal Rights ✊🏻 Equal Representation". The other says "OUR LIVES MATTER" over a progressive pride flag background.

A postcard written to OPM (US Office of Personnel Management) Director Scott Kupor asking him to overturn the ban on gender-affirming healthcare coverage for federal employees and their dependents.
