ABOUT

Student Coalition Against Homelessness and Poverty

Last year, students at Brown University held the first inaugural Summit on Homelessness and Poverty. In doing so, they brought together a coalition of student organizations from across the country dedicated to dismantling systems that perpetuate hunger, homelessness, and poverty.

This year, UNC and Duke are hosting the Summit. We look forward to welcoming students to our campus from across the country to engage in these critical topics.

Check out our full schedule, and register today to ensure your seat is reserved. We look forward to seeing you at this memorable event.

ROSALYN PELLES

In 2013, Rosalyn Woodward Pelles retired after nearly four decades as an organizer, interim director of the North Carolina National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and director of the Civil, Human and Women’s Rights Department for the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the United States representing 12.5 million workers. Before retiring she also served as the national representative for the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), the executive director of the National Education Association Staff Organization (NEASO), and as special assistant to Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.
Since retirement, Pelles has been a key advisor to North Carolina’s Forward Together Moral Monday Movement, one of the most important social justice movements in the country today.
