When you join the CWL, you do not have to attend every meeting, nor will you be expected to ‘sign up’ for duties, unless you want to.
By just being a member, YOU will be adding your voice to the already 100,000 strong voices now speaking out on national, provincial and municipal issues such as gender selective abortion, child pornography, child poverty, anti-bullying, human trafficking, and many more.
