“Sharing this moment with my CLUW sisters and APWU union makes me even more proud than you can ever imagine,” said honoree and CLUW Treasurer Judy Beard. “The work of the union—the work that we do for the union—builds communities, strengthens this country and revives the democracy that we need. That’s the work that we do.”CLUW is the only national organization for union women, founded in the ’70s during the time of Roe v. Wade.
Another honoree, CLUW Pres. Elise Bryant brought her singing voice to accept her award. But she answered Pete Seeger’s age-old musical question with ease. “I know which side you’re on, I know exactly which side you’re on” she said to those in attendance. “You’re on the side of justice, you’re on the side of freedom, you’re on the side of women’s rights and equality.”
