For those who are members of a Book Club and/or are interested in a broader discussion of women and gender, Southern Cultures is celebrating Women's History Month by doubling the size of their online archive of material dedicated to Women & Gender.

CWA activists are headed to spring training. Next month, 2,000 CWA activists will be attending training to lead nonviolent, direct protests aimed at reigniting the enthusiasm and passion of Occupy Wall Street and Wisconsin uprisings. CWA joins more than 60 progressive groups ? collectively called the 99 Percent Spring ? that will be training a total of 100,000 activists at 700 trainings in 48 states.

During CWA's union hall call on March 22, we heard reports from the National Day of Solidarity for Verizon Workers and we talked about the next step: participating in the 99 Percent Spring training program.

Across the country, CWA members turned out for the National Day of Solidarity for Verizon Workers, joined by union, progressive and community allies at hundreds of rallies and events.

This past week, CWA lost two committed members, two men who spent their working lives and their retirement years building CWA and supporting the rights of working people. Both died as they lived, as CWA activists.
