Meet Bobbie Sturge, a 2024 Freedom Fellow for CARE at Work. She saw the Freedom Fellowship as a chance to deepen her understanding of nonprofits dedicated to advancing Black worker justice — a space she hadn’t directly engaged with before.
With 16 fellows placed across 12 host organizations, the UCLA Labor Summer Fellowship provided a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the world of labor education and activism.
Nearly 60 Years of Worker Justice
Established in 1964, the UCLA Labor Center advances cutting-edge research, education, and service guided by our core values: economic equity, racial and immigrant justice, and worker power and solidarity.
Through our signature approaches and methodology that employ research justice, narrative storytelling, student and leader-to-movement pathways, and culturally and racially responsive evaluation, we partner with workers, unions, worker centers, students, and impacted communities to advance economic justice across California, the nation and globally.
