Register Now: Presidents' Meeting and Legislative-Political Conference

Register now for CWA's 2012 National Legislative-Political Conference, which will be held in Washington, D.C., Jan. 31- Feb. 2, and for the first CWA Presidents' Meeting, which opens immediately after the LP conference on Feb. 2. The deadline for the special hotel rate is Jan. 8.

CWA activists will take up major threats to our democracy — corporate money in politics, broken Senate rules, voter suppression and legalization for immigrants — and how we can fight back and restore our democracy.

The Legislative-Political conference opens at 1 pm on Jan. 31. On Feb. 1, after a morning session, activists will spend the afternoon lobbying on Capitol Hill. The conference wraps up around noon on Feb. 2. Vice President Joe Biden, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Common Cause President and CEO Bob Edgar, and members of Congress including Reps. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.), who has introduced a bill to limit offshoring of call center jobs, and Raul Grijalva (D-Tex.), are expected to attend.

CWA's first Presidents' Meeting, established by delegates at the 2011 CWA Convention, begins at 1 p.m. on Feb. 2. The meeting is held in non-convention years so CWA local leaders can hear members' appeals.

Both meetings will be held at the Omni-Shoreham Hotel, 2500 Calvert Street in Washington. The registration fee for the Legislative-Political Conference is $25 per participant. Click here to register for both the L-P Conference and the Presidents' Meeting.
