Frances Perkins Center Virtual Garden Party · 16 August 2020 ·

This year, the Frances Perkins Center is taking its annual Garden Party event virtual, to allow our friends across the country and worldwide to celebrate and help preserve and restore the landmark Frances Perkins Homestead.

Story

When I first learned about Frances Perkins about 6 years ago, I was STUNNED to not have heard of her considering the life-saving legacy she has given to every American. One would have thought our elementary and high school history books would have taught us about how she was the driving force behind New Deal policies that saved millions of lives during the Great Depression and how her work continues to this very day to help us survive!  Got Social Security? Thank Frances Perkins. Receiving or have received Unemployment Insurance? Thank Frances Perkins. Enjoy a minimum wage, you got it, thank Frances Perkins. And the list goes on. 

Please join me in preserving her Homestead to become a place-based education center where all can come learn about Frances Perkins and consider how we can continue to build a socially just and economically secure society. NOW is the time to make this happen. Thank you.
