The Peggy Browning Fund 2021 New York Virtual Awards Program

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 are with worker centers, community legal services, immigrant rights organizations, and other public interest orga- nizations throughout the country, including these in New York: Greg Baltz – Staff Attorney, TakeRoot Justice; Abigail Downs and Sayra Gordillo , Staff Attorneys, Amanda Jack , Public Defender – The Legal Aid Society of NYC; Omer Khwaja – NY Campaign Director, Jobs to Move America; Hsueh Han Lu – Senior Policy Analyst, National Employment Law Project; Sochie Nnaemeka – State Director, New York Working Families Party; Katherine Roussos – Staff Attorney, Brooklyn Legal Services; Marisol Silva – Staff Attorney, Make the Road New York;
