CWA District 2-13 Holds Annual Conference

At the start of October, CWA members in District 2-13 met in Pennsylvania for three days of networking and educational sessions hosted by CWA District 2-13 Vice President Mike Davis. Secretary-Treasurer Ameenah Salaam and District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor attended the conference. Southeast Region At-Large Executive Board Member Vera Mikell participated as a local delegate.

CWA District 2-13 also hosted several guests including State Senator John Kane (D-Pa.), Representative Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.), Representative Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), PA AFL-CIO President Angela Ferritto, CWA National RMC President Gwendolyn Parker, Global Labor Justice Garment Organizer Jeeva Muhil, and Union Sportsmen's Alliance CEO and Executive Director Walt Ingram.

Workshops included “Winning By Organizing,” “What's at Stake? Peeling Back Project 2025,” and “Our Approach to Health and Safety.”

A major theme throughout the conference was voter turnout and the need to elect pro-worker candidates up and down the ballot. Secretary-Treasurer Ameenah Salaam spoke to this sentiment, saying, “The choice is crystal clear, we need Harris and Walz in the White House these next four years. But we also need to give them a real chance to make sweeping changes to support us by voting down-ballot. This will give them the power, in both the House and Senate, to get the job Biden started finished and to build upon it.”
