Join the Philadelphia chapter of the Coalition of Labor Union Women for their annual benefit for Women Against Abuse.

In honor of Women’s History Month, CLUW is hosting a workshop on “Why Courts Matter.” There are three levels of the Federal Court System: District Court, Circuit Court and Supreme Court. The Supreme Court only reviews 80 cases a year, which leaves the majority of cases to the District and Circuit Courts. Electing Judges who represent the general population is essential. Courts make decisions on workers’ rights, protected class discrimination, campaign financing and many other issues critical to workers and women.

Checks should be payable to Women Against Abuse and mailed to CLUW, 1606 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19103. They are also accepting donations – new items, toiletries, baby supplies and school supplies, gift cards (no Wal-Mart), etc.
