Congressional Progressive Staff Association

As congressional staffers, we will not stand by while power is used to intimidate communities, silence dissent, and erode fundamental rights. That's why the Board of CPSA today released a statement on the escalating violence at the hands of ICE. cpsaDC.org/press/ice-viol…

We recommend people with first names starting with A-H bring a protein, I-R bring a side, and S-Z bring a snacks, drinks, or desserts. Please RSVP at cpsaDC.org so we know how many people to expect. See you there!

Everyone is welcome, though for those who can afford to, please bring something you can share with others.

Bring what you can, as well as your appetite! Amid this record-breaking shutdown, it's important staffers look out for one another and find community. At noon this Friday, we'll be holding a potluck lunch in Spirit of Justice Park directly behind Longworth.

Up and down the ballot, progressives won across the country last night. Don’t miss our election briefing tomorrow with Lead Locally for a conversation about what these victories can tell us about the future of Democratic politics and the 2026 elections. 🗳️

We urge staff and allies to consider joining Unite Here’s boycott until they commit to rehiring the current unionized workforce. These workers deserve respect, not replacement.

CPSA stands in solidarity with our unionized food service workers. Vendors that refuse to rehire union staff threaten the livelihoods of workers who have long served our community on Capitol Hill! @UniteHere23
