Sara Steffens is interim-director of the Worker Power Coalition. Steffens was previously elected secretary-treasurer of the Communications Workers of America by delegates to the union’s 75th convention in 2015. Before her election to CWA’s second highest ranking office, she served as secretary-treasurer of The NewsGuild-CWA, the CWA affiliate representing journalists and other media workers. A native of Minnesota, Steffens attended the Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, and went on to work as a newspaper reporter in Minnesota, Washington and California. In 2008, she helped lead her co-workers at the Bay Area News Group-East Bay to organize and join CWA. Steffens was among a group of union activists fired two weeks after the vote, but she continued to work with The NewsGuild and CWA, ultimately bargaining a first contract for workers at the newspaper group.
