This isn\u2019t just a conference document. It\u2019s our roadmap for the year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The picture is one of the clearest examples presented when Texas Congressman Greg Casar announced his bill to double overtime pay directly to CWA members. He could have held a high-profile press conference, gone on national TV, or launched on a popular podcast. Instead, he brought it to our members first. That is exactly what we are campaigning for: elected leaders who do not just talk about workers, but stand with us, listen to us, and make our fights their fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out our Instagram post from the conference and help us spread the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our leaders from across the district were in the halls of Congress meeting with lawmakers and pushing this pro-worker agenda face to face. Like it, share it, and show people that CWA members are ready to fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then take one more step: fill out our volunteer form and plug in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We need help with phone banks, coworker conversations, events, PAF, and local legislative and political teams. Whatever your schedule looks like, there is a way to be part of this work. Big fights are ahead, and we need everyone in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we fight, we win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">P.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the spirit of winning, take a look at the Texas Primary Runoff Recap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">District 6 Political Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just wrapped up the CWA Legislative and Political Conference, and our district showed up big.&nbsp;The message was clear: workers over billionaires.
