I was my mother’s caregiver during her battle with leukemia.
I can’t imagine the heartbreak of losing the job I loved while also losing a parent who loved me so deeply — but that’s the reality for far too many.
We must pass @PaidLeaveforAll & build a just America that cares for our people.

Project Labor Agreements open doors for women, people of color, and veterans to enter the trades.
And they help ensure construction projects finish on time and on budget.
I’m proud Massachusetts is leading the way and using PLAs to advance racial and economic justice.
