People are wearing blue to honor Amber Czech, a 20-year old welder who was tragically killed, by a senseless act or workplace violence at her workplace in Minnesota. Blue is being used as a symbol of solidarity with tradeswomen and to raise awareness about safety and respect in male dominated industries. A GO-FUND-ME page has been set up for Ambers family.

“As her family faces this unimaginable loss, many have reached out asking how they can help. This fund has been created to support Amber’s funeral costs and to help ease the financial burden during this difficult time. Your generosity, prayers, and kind words mean more than we can ever express as we come together to celebrate and remember the bright light Amber brought into our lives.”
