Faculty and student workers with the MN Higher Ed Worker Center have issued a statement in support of striking educators in Minneapolis. We encourage all higher ed workers to support picket lines over the next few days! @MFT59 @MPS_News #SafeAndStableSchools #TheTimeisNow
Come meet workers from other departments, programs, and institutions at the higher ed and K-12 levels, and participate in activities to help shape a student and labor-centered platform for higher ed in Minnesota
We’ve organized a higher ed solidarity social for next Saturday, 3-5pm! It will take place on the lawn of @ESFLibrary and coincide with the art, music and festivities of the eastside’s annual Solidarity Street Gallery.
Today is day three of classes in Chicago Public Schools, and this is social distancing at one of our high schools. Many of our high schools, in fact. Mayor Lightfoot and CPS had no plan for safety, and this is the result. Yet they insist schools are safe. But this is dangerous.
Big shout out to @UCWKentucky ! They joined us yesterday to discuss the inspiring, wall-to-wall power that higher ed workers have won in the South. From MN to KY, it is beautiful to see solidarity blossoming between faculty, staff, undergrads, grad students, and the community🌺

A happy belated May Day from HEWC! We were thrilled and honored to join trades, teachers, and other labor organizations at yesterday's celebration @GeorgeFloydSQ We asked people: What does UMN mean to you? What does a public university look like to you?
The UMN Climate Strike student group added a referendum that asks the University to disclose its investments in fossil fuel companies By @avathompson6956 mndaily.com/266628/news/um…
Thank you @OmarFatehMN and @JenMcEwenMN, we couldn't have done this without you. Look forward to working together in the months and years to come to fight for a truly public university for all!
Congratulations to our newly elected UMN regents. @JenMcEwenMN and we worked with the MN Higher Education Worker Center to organize for this outcome. The HEWC is a coalition of undergrads, grad students, adjunct and tenured faculty, support professionals, and organized labor.
UMN regent vote is today. The choice is between Karen Schanfield (union-busting attorney) OR Brandon Alkire, a student/worker advocate who would be the first Indigenous regent. The choice is obvious, but the DFL isn't making it easy. Help us call + email z.umn.edu/regentelection…
UMN UNDERGRADS: How much $$ does our school invest in fossil fuel companies? Is UMN $$ going toward projects like #Line3? We want to know! Help Students for Climate Justice get their endowment disclosure initiative on the ballot during campus elections z.umn.edu/disclose-inves…
Please include college instructors who must meet face-to-face with their students such as electricians, carpentry etc. in the list of essential workers.. College instructors are front line worker. They should be on the new list of essential workers. They should vaccinated.
Thank you @IBT_320 for spreading the word about the UMN Board of Regents petition. We are proud to stand with you and @afscme3800 to #StopKarenSchanfield

A powerful rally today led by UMN Students for Climate Justice demanding UMN Board of Regents disclose the endowment and divest from Line 3. A public land-grant university should not be in the business of supporting this tar sands pipeline. #PowerInUnity #StopLine3
The Regents are the most powerful people at the university, yet they ignore the demands of student movements, faculty, and labor unions, and are kept hidden from the people most impacted by their decisions to corporatize a public university. This ends now #BoardOfRejectsUMN (9/9)
During the 2014-18 faculty unionization campaign, Schanfield was hired to sift line by line through contingent faculty’s CVs, questioning their credentials and denigrating UMN’s teaching mission. She is anti-labor to her core #StopKarenSchanfield (8/9)
Want to learn more about the rightwing, anti-labor candidates who are trying to win seats on UMN Board of Regents? Read on! Content below is courtesy of the coalition of student, faculty and labor groups that have signed our petition (1/9) z.umn.edu/umnregentspeti…
