Advocating for fire fighters means more than showing up. It is building policy, moving legislation, and pushing IAFF priorities through Congress and the Administration to protect those who protect others.

I remember working on this when it passed it 2017. To see cities fighting these claims when sick fire fighters need the support the most is disappointing and gross. It is the exact problem that passing the law was intended to stop. news5cleveland.com/news/loca…

At the @WatfordFC match and I have never seen poorer officiating. This guy has lost all control of the game. Is it possible to relegate an official? #watford #eflchampionship

It’s an honor to be at the Capitol for the inauguration of the 47th president, @realDonaldTrump.
The @IAFFofficial looks forward to working with the new administration to improve the lives of America’s firefighters, emergency medical workers, and their families.

As governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter signed Title 25, granting fire fighters in the state the right to collectively bargain with their municipalities.
His signature in 1971 gave @IAFFofficial members a better, more secure future today.
May he rest in peace.

Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to public service. Whether as a Georgia peanut farmer, United States President, or leading humanitarian, he never lost sight of his mission to serve others. I'm keeping the Carter family in my prayers as we celebrate his long and incredible life.
