I wanted to get y’all’s thoughts on the upcoming trades women conference out in Texas this September.
it’s a heated discussion with the women of my local.
Many people aren’t happy with the political and cultural climate within Texas. They are worried about emergency healthcare for pregnant people, they’re worried about members of the LGBTQ community, and they’re worried about the BIPOC community.
On the other hand some members have brought up that if we don’t go, we might lose funding for future conferences… like the men may say “ hey we didn’t fund it last year, we don’t need to fund it this year”
I was curious what the vibes are at the other local / unions are.
