We are fighting to Create an Economy that Works for All of Us, for Access to Education, Civil Rights of Youth, Health Care for All, Worker and Immigrant Justice. State Rep. Ben Swan and State Sen. Stephen Buoniconti were there too and joined our fight. The only elected official who didn’t attend was <span style="font-weight: bold">Mayor of Springfield Dominic Sarno</span>, but he has since committed to a follow up meeting with ADP leaders in December! <span style="font-weight: bold">Now that’s Power!</span></font></span><br />
