Communications Workers of America Endorses Kamala Harris for President

The Communications Workers of America have endorsed Kamala Harris for President.

In their endorsement resolution, CWA’s Executive Board said,

“We are faced with two distinct options in this election. On one side is a candidate who has always taken the side of corporate interests and is advancing a policy agenda for another term that would destroy our union and take away fundamental workers’ rights. On the other side is a candidate with a consistent record fighting to empower the working class and unions who has centered CWA’s members' concerns in her policies. The choice is clear.”

The resolution outlines the key role Vice President Harris has played in making the Biden-Harris Administration one of the most pro-union, pro-worker administrations in the history of the United States. It notes Harris’s long history of support for working people as both a U.S. Senator and Attorney General of California.

“We are enthusiastic and ready to elect Kamala Harris the next President of the United States,” said CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. “She has visited our members on the job, listened to them at meetings of the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, and made sure their concerns and the concerns of our retirees are addressed in the Administration’s policies. With Kamala Harris leading our country, we will continue to have a seat at the table to improve the lives of CWA members and retirees and strengthen our communities.”

CWA’s Legislative and Political Action Teams, made up of thousands of CWA activists around the country, will be fully engaged with CWA members, retirees, and working families across the country to discuss what’s at stake in the election and the importance of electing Vice President Harris, and members of the U.S. House and Senate who support our work to build power for working people. We must ensure that we continue to build on the progress we have made alongside President Biden and Vice President Harris and get the job done.
