Equity

The rich and moving colors of the CWA Civil Rights logo represents movement among people of all cultures. Where everyone is lifted up, not because of the color of our skin, gender, religion or sexual orientation but because of our humanity and passion for justice. Where worlds and communities separated, move together as one voice for a common cause.

The mission of the National Committee on Equity (COE) is to develop and promote the CWA Civil Rights program. Our vision is to build a union where members of all cultures, religions, sexual orientations, gender, disabilities, ages and nationalities feel welcomed, respected and heard; and where the leadership reflects the diversity of our membership.

The duties and responsibilities of the Locals are to:

• Build an effective committee which provides a valuable service to the Union and the membership and carries out the CWA Civil Rights program.
• Work cooperatively with the Local Union Executive Board and other Local committees, stewards and community activist.
• Educate the membership on the role of the COE and current Civil Rights issues, and inform the membership on laws and protections.
• Strengthen Labor, by working with communities, minority organizations and coalitions which aim to eliminate discrimination.
