NaFFAA Statement on the Government Shutdown and Furloughs
/The National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NaFFAA) acknowledges the challenges that the current government shutdown brings to Filipino American families, especially those facing furloughs and delayed pay.
Across the nation, Filipino Americans serve in government, the military, and essential public service roles. A shutdown disrupts the stability of these workers and their families, creates uncertainty for small businesses, and impacts seniors and children who depend on vital programs.
This moment is not about politics—it is about people. It is about parents working to provide for their children, veterans who rely on their benefits, and dedicated workers who deserve security in uncertain times.
In the spirit of bayanihan, NaFFAA calls on our community to support one another, remain engaged, and continue raising our voices. Together, we can ensure that the contributions and needs of Filipino Americans are recognized, and that our community remains strong, resilient, and united.
