March 22 was a great day of rallies and leafleting across the country, with CWA members joined by members of many different unions, Jobs with Justice, Occupiers and other supporters.

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.

There's still time to find an event in your community and join in the National Day of Action, that hits "1 percent" Verizon for its corporate greed, and brings union and progressive activists together to stand up for each other's fights on March 22.

On March 22, in communities across the U.S., CWAers, Transport Workers Union members, Jobs with Justice and AFL-CIO activists and lots of supporters will hold rallies and actions to spotlight the corporate greed of "Verigreedy" Verizon.
