WASHINGTON - President Clinton will address the 2012 UAW National Community Action Program (CAP) Conference on the morning of March 1 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel at 2660 Woodley Road, N.W., in the nation's Capitol. 

Nearly 1,700 UAW activists are attending the union's annual legislative conference. Over the course of the four-day conference, which began Sunday, delegates will participate in workshops on public policy and electoral issues, and hear from a range of speakers, including elected representatives, labor leaders and community activists. 

UAW members from across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico will also discuss the union's legislative and political priorities for the coming year, and are spending Wednesday meeting with members of Congress on Capitol Hill to advocate on behalf of working families and prepare for the union's 2012 electoral campaign. 

UAW members will be focusing on the union's jobs creation agenda and demanding policies to strengthen our economy by: 

• Ending poverty and rebuilding the middle class by protecting every worker's right to organize and collective bargaining.
• Investing in the nation's deteriorating infrastructure to immediately create jobs.
• Providing aid for state and local governments that specifically targets layoff prevention and hiring.
• Creating industries for the future that use clean energy to spawn new industries manufacturing environmentally-sustainable materials, technologies and products.
