@thejenlevin @prichardsonla @BradleyWhitford I’m also curious, do we have a record of the 25% of members who voted AGAINST mandatory vaccination at the last National Board Meeting of @sagaftra? Per the @DEADLINE and @TheWrap articles, the vote was 75% to 25%. I wonder who the 25% was? #followthevote
