CLUW releases catchy "Women Vote" video
We are fighters on fire
Justice will guide us
We are the champions
The world's gonna hear us roar louder,
voting with power
Women vote vote vote!
That's the catchy chorus of the brand-new video released yesterday by the Coalition of Labor Union Women. CLUW is urging people of all sexes to post the video -- which features the DC Labor Chorus -- on social media and share it with your members, friends and family. "Our goal is to empower women to be leaders in their community and in the political arena," said CLUW. "This video is a representation of the journey, one that begins with women's voices and Women's Vote."
