Our hearts go out in #solidarity with @UCWArizona as they figure out a way forward that prioritizes safety & healing after this senseless act of violence.

Every August 26 we celebrate #WomensEqualityDay to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Today we also honor the generations of women public workers who have fought, and continue to fight, for equality in the workplace. #Union
