On May 13-15, UAW 4811 members will vote on whether to strike in response to UC's violent repression of student- and worker-led pro-Palestine, anti-genocide encampments.

A 🧵about why we are organizing for the UAW 4811 Strike Authorization Vote and preparing to strike:

This is at UCLA, where pro-genocide protestors are shooting explosives at sleeping students in the Gaza solidarity encampment.

There has been no coverage of the *documented* violence, racism and harassment by Zionists against students across SoCal campuses.

@fixities @RezekJoe This is the response of the thread 🤣

If you don't know who to contact from your former department, message me and I will find a current contact for you.

[Efren M Lopez @EfrenMLopez]

Graduates of the UC Ph.D. programs: you know how low those stipends and wages were. Consider connecting with your old department and other graduates from it to support the striking #uaw2865 workers, especially if you're gainfully employed. #UAWonstrike #fairUCnow #UCStrike

[Efren M Lopez @EfrenMLopez]

Example: graduates from my department #UCLAEnglish #UCLA collected money to buy gift cards for groceries and other necessities. This strike has implications for ALL #academia and these students are putting it all on the line for us. #NoColaNoContract #StriketoWin

[Rafa @rafaeldjaime]

It’s been 12 days since our last proposal for living wages and still no response from UC. It’s clear who’s responsible for the chaos.

@joshadachiagain @SamtheNightOwl I didn’t want to spoil the surprise

[Dichos de un bicho😺 @DichosdeunBicho]

Whatever the reasons that drove that young Latino to commit mass murder, whether it was personal mental health, a response to bullying, or whatnot, it was America's white supremacist gun culture that provided him the tools, both materially & ideologically, to carry it out.
