Pictures at the GPT Airport after Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina has left millions of Americans --
including up
to 20,000 CWA Members -- with next to nothing. Homes have
been
leveled, jobs destroyed -- lives devastated.
Many of our brothers and sisters have lost everything they
own
in the world -- but they still have their union. We've got
to
act now to help them.
Through the CWA Disaster Relief Fund, you will have a
tremendous
impact on the lives of members and retirees who have been
affected. Your valuable financial support will be given
directly
to CWA families trying to rebuild their lives -- at a time
when
many have little to build on.
It's up to each of us to show the strength of our union
family
and support our CWA brothers and sisters through the
difficult
time ahead. Please, give what you can:

The long road to recovery will be difficult, and we have to
start helping now. If you know of a CWA family affected by
this
disaster, please email disasterrelief@cwa-union.org or call
me
at (202) 434-1149 with any details you have. It is
imperative
that we identify people in need as soon as possible so we
can
get help to them.
This is a call for help that every CWA Member needs to hear
--
but not all of them will receive this email. Please, forward
this message to as many people as you can. Our donations
website
also has a form you can download to copy and share with
those
who wish to send a check.
Thank you for standing with our fellow CWA families in their
hour of need.
In Solidarity,
Janine Brown
CWA Community Services Representative
