This blue and white graphic shows an image of the AFT Connecticut logo and a photo of Arbitration Specialist Betzabeth Sanchez with the text: “Betzabeth has only been with AFT CT for 6 months but we’re happy she’s here! She started her career in the labor movement back in law school, but she’s been an advocate for workers since childhood when she would translate for her Spanish speaking parents.Fun Facts: She argued her first “case” at 13 to join the Solid Gold Dancers TV show —parents deemed she had to stay in middle school. She’s looking to start an all-female/GNC Rage Against the Machine cover band—Rage Against Patriarchy—or an Afro-Latina punk band. Maybe both. She loves a good English murder mystery show. Her quote to live by is “Divide and conquer must become define and empower.” by Audre Lorde.

graphic featuring masthead that reads “Inside AFT Connecticut” with union’s logo; additional text: “Union Member - here is your June 2025 e-newsletter (with updates since early May): “Advocating for Change from the Inside Out;” an outspoken AFT Connecticut-affiliated higher education leader, who consistently shows up for justice, is the focus of our latest monthly "Meet the Activists" feature. Share his story and encourage colleagues to submit their own nominations for a like-minded member deserving a shout-out. “Engaging their Community in Solidarity;” Members of an affiliated healthcare union took to the streets in mid May, holding a major demonstration aimed at securing a strong new contract. They rallied each other and their supporters two weeks before reaching a historic tentative agreement with their employer. “Giving Back to Build ‘a Better World;’ In mid May, local and state leaders engaged community partners to distribute 10,000 books as part of our national union's ongoing literacy drive. PreK-12 educators joined neighborhood nonprofits and elected officials for a morning of activities for students and their families.

This blue and white graphic shows an image of the AFT Connecticut logo and a photo of field representative Emily Demicco with the text: “Emily began her journey with the labor movement in 2013 as a steward at the CT Department of Labor with AFSCME Local 269 (‘the fightin’ 269!’). Her work as a steward was her favorite part of her job, which lead her to want to make union activism her full time gig! Fun Facts: Emily double majored in history and classical civilizations at UVM. She can name all six wives of Henry VIII (and could do so way before ‘SIX’ the Musical!) and Emily is more of a dog person, but has been a cat mom to BooBoo since 2019. Her quote to live by is “You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also,” by Rose Schneiderman.
