🎙️FOR ALL OF US podcast: Tradeswomen

• Listen on Apple Podcasts

Why are trades jobs important? These desirable careers are high paying and union protected, without the college debt.

In this special episode of For All of Us, we interview 9 women who work in construction and other skilled trades. They share how they’ve been impacted by the Trump administration’s actions undoing decades of progress that previously made skilled trades more equitable for women. They tell us about how they got their jobs, their experiences on job sites, and the community they’ve built together.

This project is powered by support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

For All of Us is a podcast from Equal Rights Advocates dedicated to sharing authentic conversations between everyday people impacted by gender, racial, and economic injustice under the Trump Administration.
