Take Charge of Political Change

Following the 2010 TWU COPE Legislative Conference's theme, "Take Charge of Political Change: Stay Connected," nearly 200 TWU members traveled to Washington D.C. and took charge of their time there by lobbying their representatives and senators on behalf of working families and hearing from key legislators.

The TWU activists who participated in the conference heard from several high-profile legislators and keynote speaker, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood. They also participated in workshops and panel discussions on issues such as operating funds for mass transit, FAA reauthorization, unemployment, NASA funding and high-speed rail opportunities, to name a few.
