CWA District 2-13 Members Focus on Organizing During Annual Conference

CWA members gathered last month in Linthicum Heights, Md., for the District 2-13 Conference. Approximately 100 participants from across the district attended and participated in group sessions focused on topics including grievance processes and broadband buildout.

CWA District 2-13 Vice President Mike Davis urged the attendees to focus on increasing their outreach and the positive impact they can have for workers and retirees, their families, and their communities.

CWA Secretary-Treasurer Ameenah Salaam, returning to her home district, was excited to lay out her plans for “fiscal accountability and responsiveness to the needs of our local leaders and members.” In her speech, she gave details for increasing fiscal efficiency, ease of communication for members, and cutting redundancies wherever possible.

Conference participants reported that they were leaving “reinvigorated” and ready to tackle organizing, both internally and externally, reinforcing our national push to boost organizing and mobilization efforts, especially ahead of this year’s electoral battles.

Other speakers included CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton; Public, Healthcare and Education Workers Vice President Margaret Cook; AFA-CWA International President Sara Nelson; Kim Kelly, author of Fight Like Hell; Partner at Law Firm of Willig, Williams & Davidson, Stuart Davidson; and Maryland Department of Labor Secretary Portia Wu.
