We’ve been bargaining with the administration for 8 months now, and the truth is grad workers can’t wait any longer. It’s time to take action.
Yesterday, we put food drive boxes in departments and grad lounges around campus. All week long, we are collecting non-perishables for Hoya Hub, Georgetown's first food pantry that is open to undergrad and grad students as well as faculty and staff. We know from our bargaining survey that 45% of grad workers skimped on meals to save money for rent. Let’s deal with that by giving generously to Hoya Hub, and let’s also tackle the bigger issue by showing up to support our bargaining team.
Save the Dates
Join us next Monday, November 11th, at noon in Red Square. We are coming together to show GU administrators that grad students aren’t going to wait, that we deserve affordable health care and living wages now. Our power is in numbers so let’s come out and show the school we mean business. RSVP here.
We also invite you to join other GAGE members in walking out this Friday at 9am with Hoya for Immigrant Rights who will be leading a march to the Supreme Court as they begin to hear arguments on DACA.
See you all soon and in solidarity,
GAGE Organizing Committee
