Are You Feeling the Bern?

With just days to go before the Iowa Caucus, CWA activists are campaigning hard for Bernie Sanders. On Monday, the presidential candidate made a stop at CWA Local 7102's union hall in Des Moines to meet with labor activists. Then, on Tuesday, CWAers cheered Sanders at a rally at a Steelworkers' union hall. Throughout the week, our members have been mobilizing, phone banking and attending "caucus training" events to help them better understand the electoral process.

Iowa CWAers join National Nurses Union members at a community phone bank for Sanders in Davenport.

Jamaal Anthony, a CWA Local 7901 area vice president, tells an Oregon crowd that Sanders brings people together. Drawing about 1,000 people to downtown Portland, the rally was one of dozens across the country planned to coincide with the Senator's Iowa speech last Saturday.

CWAers were on the scene as Bernie Sanders rallied a big crowd in Chicago.

CWA Local 1103 Secretary-Treasurer Joe Mayhew talks with CWA retirees and active members about setting up volunteer phone banks to build support for Bernie Sanders in New York State.
