This is a testament to the power of collective action. We were on the picket line for five weeks. We withheld grades for five months. We had a national boycott going, email campaigns, and received letters from around the world, and now we have our jobs back,

Happening NOW in Santa Cruz, CA! We are standing together for racial justice and in solidarity with the Starbucks #Memphis7 workers! They were illegally fired for organizing their workers and demanding a voice on the job. ⁦@SBWorkersUnited⁩ #UnionsForAll

This @viewpointmag piece connects the early-2020 COLA strike and the Columbia University grad workers victory and other recent moments of academic labor rebellion. viewpointmag.com/2022/01/19/int…

Solidarity forever with biologist and UCSC graduate student-worker Sabrina Shirazi! UCPD officers clubbed and severely injured her during the wildcat strike last year. Show support for Sabrina by sharing this article. Let's get #copsoffcampus yesterday. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Repurpose hotels and other land! Consult and take direction from leaders from within the unhoused community! Attempting to evict people from established communities without a better, more sustainable option for them is cruel and ineffective!

@sccounty we need permanent housing and resources for our unhoused neighbors. As we prepare for an extreme weather event in the mtns, how could we forget the tragic death of Desirae, who died by a fallen tree in pogonip last year? We need more a more rigorous approach to housing!

What’s happening with Chicago teachers?

We're Alphabet workers. We’ve been organizing for over a year, & we’re finally ready to share why. This morning, we're announcing #AWU, the first union open to *all* workers at any Alphabet company. Every worker deserves a union—including tech workers. nytimes.com/2021/01/04/tec…

Follow (and get involved with) RAFA and let UC know who runs the show! We've got important campaigns around COLA (and the ULP), Cops off Campus, and Pandemic response! Let's organize!
