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.

This @viewpointmag piece connects the early-2020 COLA strike and the Columbia University grad workers victory and other recent moments of academic labor rebellion.

UCSC says they have "short & long term solutions" to grad worker rent burden. We took a closer look at one of their schemes...

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

Chancellor Larive's recent $100k+ raise is 4.2 times what a UCSC grad worker makes in a whole year

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

UCSC Chancellor Cindy Larive just got a raise from $438k to $543k per year…

…Cindy got a fat COLA - now where’s ours?

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. https://t.co/QQ8dbp9a6C

Yesss!!! I love this!!

Would you put an organizing statement in your course syllabus? What would yours include?

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!

[Veronica Hamilton @RonicaTweets]

@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?

[Alphabet Workers Union (AWU-CWA) @AlphabetWorkers]

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.

[Veronica Hamilton @RonicaTweets]

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!

[Rank And File Action - UC @uc_rankandfile]

Hello, fellow workers! We are a new caucus of UC workers who are determined to build our union, @uaw2865, into a fighting organization. We came together in the wake of the @payusmoreucsc strike, which, despite repression and COVID, forced some concessions while out of contract.

[COLA Agitation Committee @SpreadtheStrike]

The university and police reports treat him as a “ring leader,” Cruz tells Truthout, “as if the people don’t have autonomy. As if the people are just waiting for a person to tell them what to do. #handsoffcarlos https://t.co/vuY3gh9Pt2
