 AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Liz Shuler and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were among the featured guests on an outstanding panel of the August 6th Coalition of Labor Union Women's Town Hall Meeting. The theme was SNAP (Sisters/Siblings Not Afraid of Power) The Vote -- reflecting on the suffragist movement to win women's right to vote and the vital importance for women, now more than ever in our history, to get out the vote and step up as leaders in our communities and workplaces. Quoting the late Honorable John Lewis, Secretary Treasurer Shuler told the over 200 participants that "...voting is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have." Not voting "...exacerbates inequalities,” said CLUW next-gener Teresa Oller, Portland APWU. "I'm not mad or discouraged,” CLUW President Elise Bryant concluded the town hall, “I'm inspired! In the name of justice, women vote!" Check out the CLUW All of Us SNAP the Vote Town Hall here. Password: WVAa2?C8
