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 [email protected] and help us organize for graduate students!
White and black text on a green background reads: "Are you passionate about graduate student organizing? Have you enjoyed gsan’s initiatives in the past? Do you have a vision for how best to support grad student workers? If this is you, Join the GSAN Leadership Team! As members of GSAN’s leadership have retired and moved on from graduate school, we currently have one active member of the leadership team. It would be a shame to see GSAN’s network and good work dissolve at this critical moment in graduate student organizing. The future of GSAN is what we make of it! email gradactionnetwork@gmail.com with inquiries or statements of interest by August 31st. Vote of confidence will be open September 1st - 7th."

On Oct. 6, students across the US are taking action to demand #BansOffOurBodies. We are fighting for: safe, legal, accessible abortions; gender-affirming care; free contraception; mandatory sex ed; and support from our schools (see below). Join us in the #StudentStrikeOct6.
A graphic with a green background reads "National Day of Student Action for Reproductive Justice." Below, it says "October 6, 2022," "Safe, legal, accessible abortion. Gender-affirming care. Free contraception. Mandatory sex education." "#BansOffOurBodies," "#StudentStrikeOct6". Near the bottom, there is a URL, www.GradAction.org. Below that, there are two logos. In the GSAN logo, green flames extend from a graduation cap that reads, "GSAN". In the logo for Young Democratic Socialists of America, a red square says "YDSA" in the bottom right corner and has sun rays extending from the text.
