Union Voters Receive 27,000 Calls from CWA Activists

Dozens of CWA political activists kicked off October with an ambitious virtual phone bank, making more than 27,000 calls to prospective union voters in both Pennsylvania and Georgia. Labor champion legislator Representative Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) helped kick off the phone bank, highlighting the importance of turning out working people's votes in his home state.

CWA Secretary-Treasurer Ameenah Salaam joined the phone bank, which was coordinated by Pennsylvania Campaign Lead Bill Scott. CWA District 2-13 Vice President Mike Davis delivered the opening statement. CWA District 4 Vice President Linda L. Hinton and Telecommunications and Technologies Vice President Lisa Bolton also made calls to turn out union voters.

After calling every number on the Pennsylvania list, with time to spare, callers pivoted to Georgia, another battleground state. They continued to make thousands of calls to the Peach State and connected with hundreds more voters. Overall, activists reported a 79 percent rate of positive responses to the CWA-endorsed candidate for President, Kamala Harris.
