Whatever would we do without you, shining the light into the dark forest? Since most of us were shut out of the old "Official" UFT FB page, I became part of the new page that both Bennett and Michael gave a nod to. This is a new combined page for both parties. But this page has a weird vibe. It doesn't feel unified at all. You can tell who's who. I started out as the self-appointed welcome wagon, admiring photos and putting up welcome GIFs. However, I feel much happier on the old Retiree Advocate page, since I want to know things like, how are we going to get rid of Mulgrew, who's running for that position, and how can I help?

Thanks for your kind words. Much like the old Facebook page, the new one won't allow me to promote my work, so I haven't joined. I'm glad the RA page and others are out there. I support and work with the group ABC--A Better Contract, which you can find here:

I share your desire to see Mulgrew gone, and a more democratic union, responsive to member needs. We took a giant step with RA, and we can take another next May. I'm ready.
