“I have to support our women, I have to support labor issues and the rights of all women to have free choice, protect our jobs and not the rhetoric that we’re hearing but just to make sure that it gets done and done right.” – NFFE-IAM National Business Representative Roosevelt Littlejohn, Jr.
We rally, we march and make our voices heard. That’s what Fighting Machinists do. #IAMfighting #WomensMarchOnWashington pic.twitter.com/ldBh56Jb9T

“It’s very important to me because I’m outraged about what’s going on in the country right now as I think everyone should be, and I wanted to make my voice heard.”
