At the National Construction Summit, we advocate for a zero-tolerance stance on exclusionary practices that perpetuate inequality and poverty within our industry. We recognize that site invasions and disruptions often stem from deeper socio-economic issues, including lack of access to opportunities and resources. By addressing these root causes, we can foster a more inclusive construction environment that empowers all community members.

Our commitment to equity and inclusion means actively engaging diverse stakeholders in decision-making processes and creating pathways for underrepresented groups to participate in the construction industry. Together, we can dismantle barriers, promote fairness, and ensure that everyone benefits from the growth and development of our communities.

By linking our efforts to combat exclusionary practices with the broader issues of inequality and poverty, we aim to build a stronger, more equitable construction sector for all.
