Our Mission
SAGE serves as an ally to federal employees who face discrimination by providing peer-based support, emotional support, advocacy, and resources in their fight for equality. Employees can contact us or post their questions in our forum to solicit advice from a broad range of supporters.
​
We envision a truly equal and just workplace in the federal government, which functions properly in the protection of its workforce and the service of the American people.
We want all victims to become Sages.
​
Like a Sage, wise through reflection and experience.
