The UMassD Labor Education Center held our annual awards banquet on October 20, 2022. At the Kilburn Mill, we were honored to recognize the contributions of the International President of the Teamsters, Sean O'Brien, the immigrant rights organization, Cosecha and the Program Director for Building Pathways South, Yvonne Tobey. A highlight from the evening was an address from UMassD student, Gabe Johnson. He spoke to celebrate today's resurgence of labor organizing which has often been lead by youth and Black, Indigenous – people of color organizers.
