CWAers Rally in Defense of Federal Workers
On Tuesday, CWA members and retirees joined federal workers and community supporters on Capitol Hill at a rally hosted by the American Federation of Government Employees. Government workers, including first responders, educators, and nurses for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, face unprecedented attacks from the current administration in its attempt to dismantle critical federal agencies to fund tax cuts for CEOs and billionaires.
CWA Secretary-Treasurer Ameenah Salaam attended the rally and said she left feeling “reinvigorated and ready to work.” She encouraged other CWAers to get connected with local efforts to support federal workers.
