CWA Responds to DHS Attacks on Community Organizing

The following statement is from CWA President Claude Cummings Jr.:

Our union has become the latest target of a corrupt administration that weaponizes the legal process against law-abiding Americans exercising our Constitutional rights. CWA is a union that harnesses the power of our collective voice and peaceful protest to stand up for one another, to keep our neighbors safe, and to build good jobs to provide for our families. We are part of a proud tradition of ordinary Americans who join together in union halls and church basements to make this country better.

But our values of unity, of community, are under attack by a president and his Department of Homeland Security that sends government spies to surveil community meetings in church basements. But mark my words: CWA is a union with a long history of standing up to bullies and billionaire bosses. We will not be intimidated, and we will not be silenced in our solidarity with our members, with our communities, and with our neighbors.

Our union halls remain open. Our fight continues. Together, we will speak out, we will vote, we will fight, and we will win.
