We Rise With Kingspan Workers

CLUE is so privileged to rise with the brave workers of Kingspan Light + Air in Santa Ana, who are demanding clean air, living wages, and that their management provide a fair process to join the Sheet Metal Air Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) union!

Rev. Adiel DePano, lead pastor at Santa Ana United Methodist Church

Let’s begin with an acknowledgement that people who live in safe communities, with some modicum of economic sufficiency, do not choose to leave their homes, social structures, cultures, friends and family, and undertake difficult and possibly dangerous journeys to a new country.
