Big win for tradeswomen and gender equity in the workforce!
Thanks to the powerful advocacy of tradeswomen and allies like @juliesulabor.bsky.social and @rbreich.bsky.social and countless others, the USDOL has released critical WANTO fund. This is a huge victory!

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
