I will make my local and union stronger.

I am so elated that I choose to attend this year's Summer School for Union Women. This was made possible because of a partial scholarship from the Northeast School. I am grateful to them and thankful for the knowledge and experience I am receiving. I have been encouraged, uplifted and rejuvenated.

Two quotes by Ms. Ida Torres will forever be in my heart. "Don't let a sister walk alone." and "Put down ladders to bring others up." I believe the basis for women to achieve leadership roles in their unions lie with these 2 simple sentence. Sisters we must remain in loyalty, solidarity, and unity.

In solidarity,
Erica Braxton
