Local 1036 Leader Invited to White House Forum

On March 29th, Michele Liebtag, Political and Education Director at CWA Local 1036, represented CWA District 1 at a forum at the White House in Washington, DC. 

“Communities in Action: Building a Better New Jersey” is part of a new series that features local elected officials and community leaders working on behalf of their communities to create opportunities and improve people’s everyday lives.  This half-day forum was held in person at the White House and highlighted the Biden-Harris Administration’s investments and impacts in communities across New Jersey. Members of CWA, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA) were invited to participate along with several New Jersey mayors, and representatives from non-profit organizations. 

The Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America Agenda for New Jersey includes many of CWA’s priorities, such as creating funding sources to prioritize investments in telecom including the expansion of broadband access through Internet for ALL, distributing ARPA relief dollars to support the important services provided by our public sector members, reducing healthcare costs that impact many CWA members, and funding programs that benefit front line and essential CWA public and private sector workers.
