CAP

CAP Coordinators

National CAP (Community Action Program) coordinates the UAW's efforts to educate, organize and mobilize active and retired members in election campaigns and the legislative arena. Using the Worker-to-Worker program, National CAP staff has organized rapid-response teams of volunteers who write, call and fax their representatives and senators on key votes. 

An integral part of National CAP's strategy is building coalitions with other unions and progressive groups to elect pro-working family candidates at the local, state and national levels and to promote progressive legislation.

National CAP also coordinates fund raising for V-CAP, our union's political action committee. Funded by voluntary contributions from tens of thousands of members and their families, V-CAP enables us to pool our resources to support pro-working family candidates.
