I'm a fat kid at heart. Union pipefitter #local537. Co-founder of Boston Union Trade Sisters. My super powers are making the world a cool place and being a mom!
This morning, I proudly ENDED the “Women, Peace & Security” (WPS) program inside the @DeptofDefense.
WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING.
WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it.
DoD will hereby executive the minimum of WPS required by statute, and fight to end the program for our next budget.
GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!

A union apprenticeship is a pathway to the middle class — for ALL workers, no matter their race, gender, beliefs or place of origin. In this excerpt from a video profile, Local 17 (Boston) journeyperson Adrian Mobley discusses how her union apprenticeship helped her go from working as a nurse assistant with no benefits, to having the financial security to purchase her own two-bedroom condo.
