Take Action

Support Student Loan Debt Forgiveness

Thanks to overwhelming pressure around the country by various activist groups and that of our members, the Biden Administration announced that it would extend the pause on student loan debt payments until May 1st, 2022.

Student loan debt affects thousands of CWA members and working people. We are joining the outpouring of energy to call on the Biden Administration to deliver on its commitments to cancel or forgive student loan debt.

May 1st, also known as May Day, is an international day of remembrance for those lost in the Haymarket Riots fighting for the 8 work day. Let us honor our brothers and sisters by ensuring that on this May Day we will have achieved one of the most impactful measures of poverty reduction around the country — the elimination of federal student loan debt.

CWA Members Make Elections Safe and Secure

CWA1036 on Friday, November 5 2021 - 4:53pm

Shout out to all our members of working in County Superintendent of Elections, County Clerks' Offices, and supporting the work at polling places. Sometimes we can take for granted how easy it is to vote by mail, by drop box, or in person on Election Day but it's the tireless work and endless hours of many in our CWA 1036 family that make that happen. They make sure the election is safe and secure.

Thanks to all!
