Building Solidarity: Construction Workers, Jobsite Safety, and ICE

Essential viewing for those in the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry and others interested in learning more about this current moment and how to respond to increased attacks on workers.

  • A firsthand story of solidarity from New Frameworks, whose worker-owner was recently profiled, abducted, and detained by Border Patrol/ICE
