CWA Members Organize a Town Hall on Expanding Broadband Access to All Communities in Arizona [telecom]

On Monday, CWA members hosted a public town hall meeting in Casa Grande, Ariz., with Democratic Congressman Tom O'Halleran and Under Secretary of Agriculture for Rural Development Xochitl Torres Small to discuss the need for expanding broadband access throughout the state, especially to underserved communities. Fernando Roman, CWA Broadband Brigade member and Executive Vice President of CWA Local 7026, also participated in the forum along with other panelists.

"We are forty-five minutes or so down the road from the fifth largest metropolitan area in the country and we have very poor broadband," said O'Halleran, speaking to the enthusiastic crowd. He added, "People in rural America need to be part of the knowledge-based economy."
