White House Celebrates Disability Pride Month With CWA

Earlier this week, PHEW-CWA Local 7000 Vice President and Arizona Pride at Work member Desi Navarro traveled to the White House to celebrate Disability Pride Month. President Joe Biden attended, as did dozens of White House staff, workers, and veterans of the armed forces impacted by disability.

Navarro posted on Facebook, “I was there to represent my union, Communications Workers of America. It was such a great experience, and it was an unbelievable pleasure to hear President Joe Biden speak and acknowledge the progress our country has made, and is capable of, when we see the humanity of ALL of our fellow citizens.”

She also wrote, “Disability Rights are Human Rights! Human Rights are Workers’ Rights! CWA is going to keep fighting. Pride at Work is going to keep fighting.”
