District Council 21 was proud to send a delegation of 20 members to this year’s Tradeswomen Build Nations conference in Chicago, the largest gathering of tradeswomen in North America.
Over the course of the weekend, our union sisters connected with members from across the building trades, shared their on-the-job experiences, and strengthened solidarity with workers from every corner of the country.
A highlight of the conference was the powerful Banner Parade, where DC 21 members marched proudly alongside IUPAT sisters and tradeswomen from every union. It was a moving reminder that when we stand together – across trades, locals, and District Councils – we are unstoppable.
Tradeswomen Build Nations is more than a celebration of progress. It’s a commitment to growing our movement, inspiring the next generation of tradeswomen, and ensuring every worker has a voice on the job.
We’re grateful to our delegates who represented DC 21 with pride and leadership this year. We look forward to carrying this momentum into next year’s conference in Houston!
