North American Trades Women's Delegation
An acquaintance of mine, a young woman who is a union carpenter, shared this with me, and asked me to share it with others:
https://gofund.me/672524c4
"Help me send Cindy Frank to London for the North American Trades women's delegation! Cindy has been a union carpenter since 1979 and would provide a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussions of this delegation. The goal of this delegation is to build transnational solidarity among women working in trades, learn about lives and working conditions of tradeswomen in other parts of the world, to share best practices for women gaining access to careers in the trades, and continue growing the international network of tradeswomen."
Solidarity!
