Below is a message from CWA President Larry Cohen

Sisters and Brothers:

I know we were all horrified by the shootings in Tucson.  President Obama has asked us all to pause at 11 AM EST and reflect, each of us in our own way, on how we build unity in our country during these difficult times.  Obviously our thoughts and prayers are with the families involved, and also with the first responders in Tucson, many of whom are members of our union.  But we also need to work against all forms of violence and intolerance that threaten our democracy and our very lives.  CWA has been in the forefront of fighting hate crimes of all types and our commitment to human rights must only grow stronger.

In Solidarity,

Larry
