• On January 19th, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, CWA members joined a rally at William Paterson University Analilia Mejía and Senator Bernie Sanders to demand a government that works for all working families instead of just for billionaires.
• On January 24th and 25th, dozens of members of CWA Locals 1037 and 1040 took shifts throughout the day to make phonecalls to voters in Congressional District 11 to help get out the vote.
• For the last weekend before Primary Election Day, members of CWA Local 1037 braved the cold to hit the streets on January 31 to knock on doors in South Orange and Maplewood and talk to voters about Analilia Mejía.
