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
Poster: Arrested for this? Recent UC Repression and the Movement for Cops Off Campus Three workers arrested at UCSD for peaceful protest. How Cops Off Campus can inform union strategy moving forward. On June 29, three UCSD Academic Workers were arrested at their homes by the University of California Police Department, charged with two felonies for writing messages in washable sidewalk chalk and window markers at a peaceful protest in May, and jailed overnight. On July 18, a fourth worker was targeted. Campus police entered their apartment under a warrant specifically looking for affiliation with UAW or AFSCME. UAW leadership is focusing on circulating a petition (sign here: change.org/UCDropCharges) and rallies. However, these are not enough to address overpowering. Join us in a panel discussion about police abolition on UC campuses. All are welcome!

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.

American workers are more productive than ever, but aren’t feeling the benefit. Let’s learn from Europe and reduce our hours

tfw Linh Song just donated an an entire GSI salary to our strike fund 💜 Thank you SO MUCH @lsong !
Screenshot from givebutter of Linh Song's $25,000 donation. She writes, "I’m donating my City Council salary as this aligns with my commitment to donate my annual salary to housing related programs. Fair wages, affordable housing, and cost of living are all issues that elected officials and administrators influence. We can do better."
