Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.
For over a decade, Mr. Paul and AAM have worked to make American manufacturing a top-of-mind issue for voters and our national leaders through effective advocacy, innovative research, and a savvy public relations strategy.
The two discuss Scott's recent op-ed titled, "Unmade in America: Black Americans disproportionately felt the devastation of industrial flight, and it is reflected in the crises of today." (Link: https://medium.com/@ScottPaulAAM/unmade-in-america-11001d910182)
They also talk about a new EPI study which examines how racism and economic inequality hurt black workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Link: https://www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/entry/new-epi-study-examines-how-racism-economic-inequality-hurt-black-workers-du)
The website for AAM is AmericanManufacturing.org and their Twitter handle is @KeepItMadeInUSA. Scott Paul's handle is @ScottPaulAAM.
