Join CWA’s National Day of Action to Re-Elect Senator Catherine Cortez Masto

Join CWAers for a National Day of Action on Thursday, November 3, at 6 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. CT/ 4 p.m. MT/3 p.m. PT to phone bank for Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto who is running for reelection.

Senator Cortez Masto has been a long-time ally to CWA members. She is one of the lead sponsors of the Call Center Bill in the Senate. This bill will protect call center jobs from going overseas and hold corporations accountable for offshoring jobs. She also supports updated "Buy America" rules to strengthen our supply chain with goods manufactured in the United States, lowering prescription drug prices, and labor law reform to make it easier for workers to join unions and bargain strong contracts.

We need to reelect Senator Cortez Masto so she can continue to lift up America’s workers and fight to strengthen workers’ rights to join unions and bargain fair contracts. This race is going to be close and the control of the U.S. Senate is hanging in the balance. We need to get out the vote and make sure the Senate remains pro-worker.

Join your fellow CWAers on the National Day of Action to phone bank together and re-elect one of our labor champions. Sign up here.

CWAers Ramp Up Mobilization to Build Support for Pro-Worker Midterm Candidates

The midterm elections are less than two weeks away. CWA members across the country are ramping up their mobilization to ensure that our endorsed pro-worker candidates win office.

Last week, activists from across the country joined CWA's second National Day of Action by participating in a virtual phone bank to help build support for Mandela Barnes, who is running for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.

CWAers are mobilizing to send Mandela Barnes to the Senate so he can continue to lift up America’s workers and fight to strengthen workers’ rights to join unions and bargain fair contracts. “I believe in the strength of unions because I would not be here without them, and I believe we can create a future where hard work pays off and that a fair shot is within the realm of possibility,” said Barnes, who spoke to the volunteers.

The volunteers, including CWA Executive Board members Linda L. Hinton, CWA District 4 Vice President; Susie McAllister, CWA District 7 Vice President; Sara Nelson, AFA-CWA President; Margaret Cook, Public, Health Care and Education Workers Vice President; and Lisa Bolton, Telecommunications and Technologies Vice President were able to dial over 7400 households and identify 130 supporters for Barnes.
