Stay-At-Home Request Program Book Honoring 2020 Peggy Browning Summer Fellows

We’ll keep you posted on how our fellows fared over the summer on our website at www.peggybrowningfund.org and in our Fall newsletter. You can see all 91 of our Summer Fellows and where they are working at https://www.peggybrowning- fund.org/news/fellows-brochure. PBF’s annual National Law Students Workers’ Rights Conference has been highly successful in developing a greater understanding, passion and commitment to issues facing work- ers in this changing world. Over 3,000 students have partici- pated since 1999. The pandemic won’t stop us. This year we will be switching to an online event. Our positive reputation has grown our community of par- ticipating law schools to 157. Last Fall, we coordinated 16 Regional Workshops at law schools to encourage law students to consider a career in the labor movement. We are proud of the impact our programs have had on the law students we serve and the added value our fellows have brought to the labor move- ment. This year’s Regional Workshops will be held online as well. However, we know that we have work to do. As the Black Lives Matter protests have grown nationwide and drawn atten- tion to the importance of dismantling systemic racism, we too are looking at ways to help repair the harm done. We condemn the systemic racism perpetrated on people of color by law enforcement throughout the country. These terrible and sense- less acts and the history of institutional racism can no longer continue. We applaud our many fellows and alumni who have pro- tested in the streets. We stand in solidarity with them and with all who fight systemic racism and seek justice for the countless men and women of color who have died at the hands of injus- tice.
