Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today's profile is Ashley Johnson of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

Ashley Johnson is a powerful labor leader in Butte, Montana. Johnson never misses an opportunity to step up for her union, say "yes," and attend leadership and professional development workshops and events.
