Article 23 - Community Action Program Councils

Section 1. The objective and purpose of the UAW Community Action Program Councils are to develop, promote and implement policies and programs designed to improve and enrich the quality of American life. The UAW Community Action Program (hereinafter referred to as CAP) shall engage in community, civic, welfare, educational, environmental, cultural, citizenship, legislative, consumer protection, community services and other activities to improve the economic and social conditions of UAW members and their families and to promote the general welfare and democratic way of life for all people.
