We are pleased to see that Maryland legislators stepped up and made a statement about what kind of businesses they want in their state. Marylanders deserve businesses that provide for their employees, pay a decent wage and provide affordable health care, not those that expect taxpayers to foot the bill for their bottom-line corporate profits. They get that with Fair Share Health Care.

She said no woman is worth her salt unless she brings other women along. Right now when I think about what I need to do and what can inspire me, it's to make sure we make space for women, for people of color to have roles in our new federation, in our unions, in our meetings. We need to solve the problems they are confronting in their homes and their communities and their workplaces. We need to give them a voice.
