(2/2) Trevor on George Floyd and the Minneapolis protests:
“If you felt unease watching that Target being looted, try to imagine how it must feel for black Americans when they watch themselves being looted every single day. Police in America are looting black bodies.”
Sohum Banerjea, international student in Computer Science, now at risk of losing student visa for striking: The UC says they value students/workers? Then stop paying exploitation wages and engaging in draconian punishment. #ucstrike#spreadthestrike
UCSC sociology professor Steve McKay says he is ashamed of the UC today. Talks about the study on Santa Cruz, “No Place Like Home,” in which he and collaborators found 70 percent of SC County renters are rent-burdened. More info: https://t.co/xlHw14MlQN #payusmoreucsc#ucstrike
This video is amazing! The UC Santa Cruz wildcat strike to demand a cost-of-living-adjustment to offset skyrocketing housing costs has spread to campuses across Cali. Watch as hundreds of students at UC Santa Barbara hit the streets for the first day of their teaching strike!
yesterday, UC undergrads protested during Janet Napolitano’s speech in support of #COLA at the #SpeechMatters conference. Powerful example of free speech in action @ucsb4cola@payusmoreucsc
UCSC grad students are fighting to have their labor rights acknowledged. I strongly urge the president of the UC system to stop threatening them, especially immigrant students, for organizing. I stand with @payusmoreucsc

Accounts run by men receive roughly double the retweets of those run by women. Even online, we are talked for and talked over. Even online, men’s voices carry twice as much worth. It matters. When you see women writing about things that interest you, retweet us. It’s that simple.
