CWA is spreading the word that a deal between Verizon and the nation's largest cable companies will kill thousands of jobs, raise prices for consumers and virtually guarantee that too many communities remain stuck on the wrong side of the digital divide.

Workers are marking one year since CWA and IBEW contracts with Verizon expired, and the fight for fairness continues. Activists are taking it to the streets. Every member must get involved in this struggle now. We must Stand Up to Verizon in what has become a fight for our future?and the future of every American worker.

This week sees workers, retirees, their families, and allies mobilizing on a massive scale. Each day actions are focused on a specific theme and group.
