Stronger Together: Women Labor Leaders

It doesn’t take long to realize this is not an ordinary conference, as an all-woman mariachi band opens the proceedings by blowing the doors off the place.

And the attendees dance their way through the aisles.

This is the 2025 Stronger Together Women’s Conference, hosted by the California State Building and Construction Trades Council and the California Federation of Labor… and it is an incredible testament to the power of women.

The news this year has been overrun by cynical actors, dark forces and regressive politics.  It’s easy to lose hope and surrender to the darkness…

…until you spend a weekend with these amazing women.
