CWA District 4 Cranks Up the Heat This Political Season

CWA District 4 and IUE-CWA members took to the phones earlier this month to call potential union voters. In total, nearly 60 volunteers made over 850 calls, reporting a high connectivity rate. Voters, according to event organizers, responded positively to questions and information about CWA-endorsed candidates.

With only weeks before the November election, pressure is high to turn out voters for pro-union candidates up and down the ballot. This phone bank focused on several candidates but primarily on Sen. Sherrod Brown, a four-term senator from Ohio with a proven track record as a champion for labor.

CWA District 4 also hosted a Labor Walk, a canvassing event to knock on union members’ doors and have face-to-face conversations about pro-worker candidates. Approximately 20 members, including activists, organizers, staff, and District 4 leadership walked the Fairview Park and Rocky River communities in Cleveland, Ohio. The District 4 Legislative Department helped coordinate the action. Canvassers enjoyed great weather for their walk and reported very positive contacts in the community.

CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton expressed gratitude for the assistance from Deputy Director of Organizing Tim Dubnau and Assistant Director of Organizing Yonah Camacho Diamond.
