Even in these moments of strife and oppression from a rogue federal government, we must remember that we stood up and remained committed to our court system, to the rule of law, and to due process. We also remember who had to die to remind us to do that.

I joined my colleagues to honor and remember Crispus Attucks—the first person killed in the Boston Massacre 256 years ago, and the first to die in America’s pursuit of freedom.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Joined AFL-CIO for their International Women's Day gathering—celebrating the progress women have made and the leadership they continue to bring to the labor movement.
Proud to honor the leaders, organizers, and workers continuing to push us forward!
