We are fighting for the rights of ALL MD Public Higher Ed Faculty & librarians to collectively bargain! Can you take a sec & write to @SenBillFerg, @GovWesMoore & other MD legislators asking them to support our bill for ALL faculty & librarians? actionnetwork.org/letters/md-pub…

Why are we fighting for our union? Why do we need collective bargaining rights? If you missed our testimony read out on campus this week👇, check out our live testimony for our collective bargaining on Tuesday in the MD House Appropriations Committee: youtube.com/watch?v=IzsTNw…

Cold? What cold? We’re fired up with our @HigherEdLabor crew to tell the Trump administration: Stop cuts to the NIH and to important medical research!

Faculty at Ohio University (UnitedacAdemicsofOU on Insta) are starting their union election this week! We love to see messages of solidarity like this from fellow AFT-AAUP unions ✊❤️🌼 @AFTHigherEd @AAUP

“It’s purposeful chaos. People have been told to stop their research, some faculty have been told they have to fire postdocs & to shut down their labs, meaning time sensitive materials will no longer be usable.” - Todd Wolfson, AAUP President on NIH cuts ft.com/content/028b2d…

Right now the world’s richest man is rifling through 45M people’s private student loan accounts, feeding the data into artificial intelligence, & downloading our most private data. Tell your lawmakers: Get Elon out of the Department of Education! actionnetwork.org/call_campaigns… @AFTUnion

OSU’s Undergraduate Student Government *unanimously* passed “A Resolution to Urge the Ohio House of Representatives to Vote NO on Senate Bill 1,” due to its “lasting negative consequences for students, faculty, and staff across the state”

We love seeing higher-ed unions across the country organizing to meet this moment ✊❤️

Tell Congress to stop Elon Musk from stealing Americans' tax and other private data! actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-e… @AFTUnion

Ready everyone?!? Our bill—done w/ @AAUP, @AFTunion, @AFTHigherEd, @AFT_Maryland—for collective bargaining for ALL faculty & librarians in the USM system just dropped: Its here: mgaleg.maryland.gov/2025RS/bills/h… What is it & why is it important? 🧵

Working families are struggling to make ends meet while billionaires & corporations rake in record profits. Giving those at the top more tax breaks won't lower costs for families, it will just make our economy even more rigged. Renewing the #TrumpTaxCuts is a scam.

Congratulations to the workers at the Delaware County District Library who just voted #UnionYes to join @OFTunion @AFTunion and be the news #Ohio members of the @AFLCIO oft-aft.org/press/delaware…
