The UMassD Labor Education Center holds our annual awards banquet in the fall of every year.  We have been honored to recognize the contributions of many national, state, and local labor leaders, elected officials, and community builders. It has been exciting to celebrate today's resurgence of labor organizing which has often been lead by youth and Black, Indigenous – people of color organizers.
