News
February 15, 2011
Earlier this week, nearly 100 CWA leaders from 26 states came to Washington, D.C. for the first-ever Legislative University. The Legislative Political Action Teams focused on sharpening their grassroots organizing skills and learning better ways to move members of Congress.
On the first day of the gathering, the group heard from Rep. Donna Edwards, a Maryland Democrat elected in 2008. Edwards discussed the importance of letters and phone calls flooding into Congress, noting that members track every single communication their offices receive. Sometimes, she said, all it takes is ten phone calls to make her take a stance on an issue.
