Celebrating Labor and Solidarity at the Annual Lowell Labor Day Parade

I was proud to attend the Annual Lowell Labor Day Parade yesterday, another great event that continues to bring together working people, families, and communities year after year.

It was inspiring to see so many different union locals represented, from the Steelworkers to the Building Trades and many others. The strong turnout was a powerful reminder of the importance of organized labor and the hardworking men and women who continue to build, strengthen, and support our communities.

At a time like this, it is more important than ever for working people to come together, stand united, and remain stronger than ever. Events like the Lowell Labor Day Parade remind us of the strength we have when we stand together in solidarity.
