CDC Mutual Aid Network
A collaboration between CDC Workers, CDC Alumni, Fired But Fighting, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Local 2883, and the Family Support Center. The network is open to all CDC workers, including FTEs, fellows, and contractors.
Support the CDC Workforce
Donate here to help CDC workers in need through the CDC Mutual Aid Network Assistance Fund. Your contribution—big or small—will have a direct impact. Whether it's covering groceries, rent, or medical bills, every dollar helps a fired CDC worker get back on their feet.
About the Fund
The CDC Mutual Aid Assistance Fund is operated in partnership with the Family Support Center (Federal Tax ID: 58-1979047), an Atlanta-based nonprofit dedicated to helping families in need.
More than 99 cents of every dollar given will go straight to those in need. Your gift is tax deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.
We fully anticipate that all funds will go to terminated employees. However, if donations exceed direct needs for those who have lost jobs, excess funds will be donated to the AFGE Federal Employee Defense Fund to support legal and other strategies to defend American public employees.
Request Assistance
Are you a member of the CDC workforce (FTE, fellow, or contractor) who has lost your job since January 20, 2025 due to a Reduction in Force (RIF), contract termination, or other action?
