Dear brother and Sisters,

After many years of serving, you as President of Local 878 I am stepping down effective February 15, 2026. I will continue contributing and working in a different capacity with the Local for an undetermined time.

With our Local 878 Executive Board, I have contacted our International Union and requested that Local 878 be under Trusteeship. I’ve also received confirmation that Las Vegas Local 226 has agreed to oversee and partner with Local 878 to ensure that the Hilton Anchorage Hotel campaign remains intact and even stronger.

The support and resources from our International Union and Local 226 will be a tremendous boost to our Local membership for a brighter future. I ask that you support my decision to Trustee the Local to ensure a path of growth and prosperity for all Local 878 Members.

Today, we remember the life of Rev. Jesse Jackson. He was a fierce advocate for the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world.

Rev. Jesse Jackson often recited the following poem by Rev. Dr. William Holmes Borders, Sr. A poem that reminds us all that everyone has value.

Somebody!
I am Somebody!
I may be poor,
But I am Somebody.
I may be young,
But I am Somebody.
I may be on welfare,
But I am Somebody.
I may be small,
But I am Somebody.
I may have made mistakes,
But I am Somebody.
My clothes are different,
My face is different,
My hair is different,
But I am Somebody.
I am black,
Brown,or white.
I speak a different language
But I must be respected,
Protected,
Never rejected.
I am God’s child!
