Rutgers AAUP-AFT is bringing back Freedom School in the tradition of Ella Baker, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the 1960s civil rights movement. The pandemic has disrupted both our ordinary lives and how we connect to each other as a union. We want Freedom School to be a virtual classroom and discussion space for union members, students, and the community to develop leadership and political consciousness for a new generation. Join us for regular Thursday-night discussions featuring speakers from the labor and social movements, as well as the Rutgers community and our Coalition unions, to discuss the themes that inform our current struggles for economic, racial, and social justice.

Freedom School: What Is Climate Justice and Why Are Unions Integral to It?
Members of Rutgers AAUP-AFT, the union that represents faculty, graduate workers, postdocs, and EOF counselors, gathered at Winants Hall on Monday, August 14, to visit Chief Financial Officer J. Michael Gower and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Prabhas Moghe to demand that the administration abide by our contracts won in the spring. Our salary increases must be centrally funded, graduate workers whose research was disrupted by COVID must get funding extensions, and everyone in our unions must be fully compensated for their labor. Our members were told that the administration building was closed to them, so they recorded this video to send the message that they came to Winants to deliver.
Hey Rutgers, Honor R Contracts! August 14 at Winants Hall
