Members from eight different CWA locals participated in the Colorado AFL-CIO Labor Lobby Corps, a 3-day program to bring union members to the Colorado Assembly to directly advocate on issues important to working families.

Tammi John of Pueblo, Co., an AT&T Mobility employee, said, "It was an amazing group of people and a great learning experience for me. I would love to come again."

Adrienne Prince of Denver, Co., a Frontier Airlines employee, said, "I really learned so much. I wish this program was longer than 3 days. I feel like now we have information and some confidence – now we need to utilize it. I would really like to get more involved and do more lobbying on a regular basis."
