Seeking advice on collecting union dues!

A recent Exec. Order ended the ability for federal staff to pay union dues through automatic paycheck withdrawal. I am volunteering to help my union, IFPTE Local 8a, find a new way to collect dues.

Then there's Brett Stephens, of all people, speaking out re: damage Trump is doing:

"Stephens’s contribution is still useful, because he functions as something of a weathervane for upper-crust elite opinion. Here he is, connecting the dots, recognizing that Trump 2.0 represents an existential threat, and ought to face vocal resistance even from those who agree with their policy aims."

"When I first saw the column online, I was certain it couldn’t be real. I considered the possibility that the NY Times website might have been hacked. That’s how shocking it is to hear the likes of David Brooks calling for solidarity, uprising, even understanding the scale of defiance that would be necessary to stop the Trump Regime once and for all."
