We don’t need to tell you that we have to resist the attacks that are coming fast and furious from the Trump administration—from the threats to academic freedom (which hit home at Rutgers this week), to the drastic funding cuts for research and higher ed, to the the administration’s lawless behavior that is imperiling democracy.
Joining the No Kings protests is a great way to continue the organizing we’ve started here at Rutgers and will continue into our contract campaign. Even better: talk to your colleagues about meeting up and marching together!
In solidarity,
Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union, Rutgers AAUP-AFT, and AAUP-BHSNJ
