The new DC Labor Intern Network is rapidly growing, with nearly 50 interns at area unions and social justice organizations already signed up. Coordinated by the Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO, whose intern Sivan Rosenthal is working on the effort, the network is intended to offer interns an opportunity to connect, learn, share experiences, and socialize. Many have already participated in a recent DC Labor History Walk and have been alerted to interesting events like Senator Elizabeth Warren’s panel on student debt today and next Monday’s panel on “Organizing the Workers of Walmart from Bentonville to Beijing.” More events for interns are being planned throughout the summer, including another Labor Walk on June 24; click here to register. To join the DC Labor Intern Network, email Rosenthal at [email protected].
