Constructing Hope is really living up to their name—providing pathways to good-paying and union construction jobs. Inspiring to hear from their staff about their Green Workforce Program and the critical skills and pre-apprenticeship trainings they’re making available.

Constructing Hope offers a free construction training program focused on – but not exclusively for - people who have been justice-involved. Recently I had an opportunity to talk with several people in @ConstructHope pre-apprenticeship programs, and their stories are inspiring.

Ableism cuts across all of our movements for justice.
Grateful for this tool from @thellpsx @northwesthealth to learn how we can better our practice of disability justice—ensuring our work addresses ableism + how it intersects with other forms of oppression.
