If this can happen to an elected officer, imagine how easily it can happen to any member.

For months, I wrestled with whether to share this publicly. Not because I lack courage, but because I believed the organization I served would eventually do what was right. That belief has faded.

On March 4th, 2025, I walked into what I thought was a standard Executive Committee meeting. I left that meeting suspended. No prior notice. No opportunity to respond to any allegations. No understanding of what was unfolding. Hours later, a Special General Council meeting was held—without my knowledge—where the decision to suspend me was ratified. I was informed the next day, March 5th, via a letter that listed six allegations, all of which had already been ruled on. My email access was blocked. I was stripped of all responsibilities. I was silenced.

I immediately responded, submitting a full written rebuttal to all 11 items of concern. No acknowledgment. No next steps. Nothing.

Then came the whispers, the avoidance, and, most disturbingly, the interference in my personal life. Members of the Executive approached my child’s father to pressure me into resigning—citing “irrefutable evidence” I had never been shown. These tactics weren’t just unprofessional—they were coercive.

So I resigned. Not because I was guilty. Not because I lacked resilience. But because I could no longer thrive in a space where silence replaced fairness and where leadership cloaked misconduct in bureaucracy. I resigned to protect my peace, my integrity, and my mental health.

And yet, even after my resignation, the matter was not closed. My name remained in discussions. The so-called “investigation” continues—but with no official notice, no scope outlined, and no transparency.

Let’s be clear:

• I was suspended before any investigation took place.
• I was denied the right to be heard.
• A new 2nd Vice President was installed, rendering any ongoing process procedurally pointless.
• No communication has outlined the terms or intent of this continued scrutiny.

What’s most painful is not the accusations—it’s the betrayal of values I fought to uphold.

Due process is not optional. Transparency is not selective. Fairness is not conditional.

If this can happen to an elected officer, imagine how easily it can happen to any member. And that is why I am speaking up now—not to defend myself, but to demand something greater for every member who trusts that their voice matters.

I am asking the General Membership—the highest authority within the Union—to take action. Not for me, but for the integrity of our institution. Call for a General Meeting. Demand transparency. Insist on fairness. Let no one be silenced, bullied, or removed without being heard.

I may no longer hold the title of Vice President, but I will always advocate for truth. And today, the truth is this:
Silence serves power, not justice.
