Since January 7, multiple wildfires have erupted in southern California, threatening lives and property. CWA members and retirees have been both victims of these tragic disasters and heroes stepping in to help others in danger or in need.
CWA District 9 has established a Disaster Relief Fund to assist members and retirees impacted by these catastrophic fires. Every dollar contributed to the fund will go directly to helping members of our CWA family with shelter, clothing, and essential household items. Make your donation here: www.cwa-union.org/ca-wildfires.
“Our Union Brothers and Sisters are facing unprecedented challenges, with many losing everything they have,” CWA District 9 Vice President Frank Arce said in a message to CWA local officers. “Air quality throughout the area is plummeting to hazardous levels. The ongoing drought conditions only exacerbate this dire situation. During times like these, we must come together as a family, extending our support to those in need.”
The national CWA Disaster Relief Fund is also available to support our members affected by the fires. You can access the relief fund documents here or speak to your local steward or local officers for assistance.
