Farewell to Abe

Abraham Mwaura, an OVEC organizer for the past five years, has moved on to new adventures. Abe just began a job as a union organizer with UE; this summer he’ll be working in Chicago, North Carolina and West Virginia. He’s considering law school for the fall.

Abe’s work helped OVEC to grow in many ways. He’ll be missed by members and staff. We’re thankful for the time Abe spent with us, and wish him all the best in his new endeavors.
