Graduate Student Action Network

GSAN has organized around reproductive justice, disability justice, and grad student workers rights. If you would like to see GSAN do more in these areas or explore new directions, consider joining our leadership team! Email gradactionnetwork@gmail.com by this Saturday

As members of our leadership have moved on from grad school, GSAN currently has one active member of the leadership team. If you are passionate about student organizing & the rights of student workers, email gradactionnetwork@gmail.com and help us organize for graduate students!

Join our Summer 2023 virtual quarterly meeting this Friday, August 25 at 4 PM EST. The theme will be "When Bosses Attack: Responding to employer aggression in higher-ed organizing." Open to all. Please distribute on your campus! RSVP: gradaction.org/meetings

After UCSD and Chancellor Khosla with the help of UCPD have gone after workers, members of UAW 2865 and of the Cops Off Campus movement will discuss how they can work together. Please join us next Tuesday at 5.30 PST on Zoom if you are free! RSVP: tinyurl.com/rsvp-coc

It's time for us to move to a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay. Technology and worker productivity has exploded in recent years. That transformation should benefit all, not just the few. It should create more time for friends, for family, for rest, and for relaxation.
