Mary Grace Menner

MaryGrace Menner is a recent graduate of Northeastern University School of Law, where she earned her JD with concentrations in both Labor, Work & Income and Poverty Law & Economic Justice. MaryGrace’s work in workers’ rights began while living in Immokalee, a small farmworker town in Florida. While there, she worked in the immigration department of Legal Aid, where she recognized the need for a multi-faceted approach to migrant workers’ rights. As a result, she also became involved with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. She continued her work at Metrowest Worker Center – Casa del Trabajador in Framingham, Massachusetts. At Casa, MaryGrace advocated alongside workers in low-wage, high-risk jobs like roofing and siding. In 2019, she was a Peggy Browning Fellow in the Employment Unit at Greater Boston Legal Services, and in 2020, a Peggy Browning Fellow at Migrant Justice in Burlington, Vermont. She has also interned for the Hon. Indira Talwani of the District of Massachusetts and in the Fair Labor Division of the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. She is interested in the ways labor and employment law can be used to create effective social change and justice for marginalized communities.
