Prior to his leadership position, Cummings served on the CWA executive board since 2007 and was elected vice president of District 6 in 2011, representing workers across five states. He played a key role in advancing CWA’s efforts in human rights, women’s rights, immigration and voter protection. He also holds leadership roles with the NAACP, serving as 1st vice president of the Houston Branch and 2nd vice president of the Texas State Conference. He was also active in the A.
