Great job and thank you for all of your support and work on this issue @IAFFPresident. We would not be where we are today without your leadership.

She contacted then Attorney General @maura_healey …195 times (by email) not including calls and zoom.
And she refused to act. @Di_Cotter hopes @MassAGO will now act.

@Josh_IAFF states the need to understand “it’s time to fight!” There are organizations within our state using firefighter cancer legislation as a political tool against us & enrich themselves We will not be quiet & will not roll over #OrganizeFightWin
