Donna Brockington began her journey in the labor movement in the early ‘90s as a member of AFGE Local 32 in Washington, DC. There she represented employees at her employing agency, the US Office of Personnel Management. Her local leadership positions included treasurer, secretary, steward and contract negotiator. Outside the local, Donna used her passion as a labor and community organizer to promote the economic welfare of women and families through political and legislative action.
