Unions Help Build 'Occupy' Movement; Send Us Photos from Your City

CWAers in Austin (above) and Boston are among thousands of union members helping the Occupy Wall Street movement grow nationally.

With a focus on good jobs, fair taxes and other policies to rebuild America's middle class, CWA and other unions are helping the Occupy Wall Street movement grow, from Boston to Austin and cities up and down the West Coast.

In Austin, members of the Texas State Employees Union-CWA Local 6186 took part in a large, peaceful assembly at City Hall two weeks ago and will march there again on Sunday. "Our objective is to help energize the labor movement in Austin by raising our voices together to say, 'Stop the War on Working People,'" TSEU said.

In Boston last week, CWAers helped lead a march, carrying a banner about Verizon and Verizon Wireless destroying middle class jobs.

The CWA Newsletter would like to collect high-quality (high-resolution) digital photographs of the many other peaceful Occupy protests that members are involved in nationwide. Please send us some of your best photographs, or a link if you have uploaded pictures to a website. Be sure to tell us when and where the events took place. Email us at news@cwa-union.org.
