The Peggy Browning Fund Philadelphia Virtual Awards Program 2021

Alumni We educate law students about the rights and needs of workers. We aim to develop thoughtful and passionate labor advocates. Since 1997, we placed law students in 1,137 Peggy Browning Fellowships, with 80 to 90 more to come in 2021. We’re proud to say that, not counting students still in law school, 41% of our alumni are working in the labor movement and 25% support social justice in various public interest jobs. Another 4% have recently graduated and haven’t let us know yet where they are working. We’ve lost track of many others but are always looking for them. We can’t list them all, but here are a few examples. Many work for unions, including: Michael Artz , Associate General Counsel at AFSCME and member of our Board of Directors; Christopher Bangs, Laura Karr, Richard Otzel, Dan Smith – Associate General Counsel, Amalgamated Transit Union; Amy Bokerman, Alyssa Tramposch, and Gideon Martin – Assistant General Counsel, New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council; MatthewStark Blumin –DeputyGeneral Counsel, Coalition of Immokalee Workers; Antonia Domingo, Nate Kilbert, and Katy Shaw – Assistant General Counsel; and Mariana Padias – Assistant Director of Organizing, United Steelworkers; Andrew Gold – Representative, UFCW Local 1776; StevenGrubbs –AdvocacyRepresentative, SEIUHealthcare PA;
