As we reflect on the past year, there’s been more than our fair share of chaos and division. Some of it is real and some of its political posturing. But we can take the gift of this holiday season and choose peace, friendship, and understanding.
We will choose respect, dignity and fairness and will stand up for those principles.
We will be kind and loving because that is how we defeat hate and fear.
We will raise the standards for skill and professionalism because we are the front-line experts.
And we will be unequivocal in our solidarity across unions and across the divide.
This holiday season, we can listen to our better angels and be a force for good in our world.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Season’s Greetings and Happy Kwanzaa.
However you celebrate this holiday season, we wish you all the best.
Respectfully,
Barbara Cape, President
