National Day Laborer Organizing Network
Los Angeles, CA
Officially founded in 2001, the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) is a collaborative of 42 dynamic day labor worker centers. NDLON's mission is to improve the lives of day laborers living and working within the United States. It strengthens and expands the work of local day laborer organizing groups, in order to become more effective and strategic in building leadership, advancing low-wage worker and immigrant rights, and developing successful models for organizing immigrant workers.
The Peggy Browning Fund Summer Fellow will work directly with NDLON's Legal Director and Staff Attorneys and will have the opportunity to collaborate on legal and organizing components of NDLON's work. In addition, the Fellow will have the opportunity to work closely with workers and staff from NDLON member organizations located throughout the country.
In order to further personal growth and development, Fellows are encouraged, but not required, to design and conduct their own summer work project within the framework of the following strategic programmatic areas: Civil Rights Defense, Workplace Rights Protection, and Policy Advocacy. This year the Fellow will be asked to focus on efforts to confront state and local initiatives criminalizing immigrant work.
The total ten-week stipend for this fellowship will be $4,500.
