In 1979, Mixer co-founded Tradeswomen, Inc., which was one of California's first organizations for women in the trades. In 1989, Tradeswomen Inc. created a quarterly magazine entitled, Tradeswomen Magazine that includes articles with topics such as networking, safety, affirmative action, and employment discrimination. Mixer was also involved in the publishing of Pride and a Paycheck, a tradeswomen support newsletter and guide to blue collar jobs that has content created and written by women in the trades.
