Do women in peace processes increase women's representation after conflict? I find that only with women in BOTH Track I and II processes AND an external women's movement supporting do we see long-term gains in women in legislatures. @PoliticsGenderJ - https://t.co/Fooo91HRcO

But regardless of how you vote, we hope there’s one thing you can take away from this strike:

Screw the UC and screw the neoliberal capitalist, racist, ableist, heterosexist, nationalist model of education.

Regardless of the contract vote outcome, this fight isn’t over.

[Kristen Aanstoos @kaanstoos]

No matter how you vote, I love you all and support you. Just remember that we're in this together. Support your department, support your fellow UCs, and do what you believe is the best for everyone. #UAWonStrike #UnionStrong

[Kristen Aanstoos @kaanstoos]

Why I'm voting No - a thread. TLDR: this contract does not solve most of the problems that brought us out on the picket line in the first place.

[Kristen Aanstoos @kaanstoos]

2 weeks ago UC said they gave us their final best offer. 2 days ago they gave us a better one. Don't fall for their lies. Don't let them divide us. We've all done the math and we know UC can afford to pay us a livable wage. We just have to keep fighting and MAKE THEM.

There are two paths forward, increasingly at odds with one another, that have congealed within the UC strike. #UAWonSTRIKE #FairUCNow
