Pennsylvania students, families, communities, and workers need and deserve more support. Disinvestment in higher education hurts the PA economy.

Yesterday, our union was proud to join public higher ed workers across PA. Our coalition is unprecedented and growing. Community college and PASSHE, and Pitt, Temple and Penn State workers are calling on Harrisburg to fully fund public higher ed. Let’s go from the bottom 10 to the top 10.

Noon, join higher ed workers and students at 20th and Market to protest Senator McCormick’s co-signing of billionaire attacks on Higher Education in Pennsylvania. Despite writing a book about leadership, is nothing but a fool follower of bad actors.

Instead of leading to benefit PA, Sen McCormick is in lockstep w/ Trump’s funding cuts & govt shutdown, which have real imact for PA students, faculty, staff, & researchers. And lack of state budget will make impacts even worse for our communities.

They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead

More essential reading from Will Bunch: It's getting harder to shock America, but Trump managed this weekend with a crude, fiery threat to wage war on Chicago. But a massive street protest Saturday, backed by a strong governor, shows Chicago isn't having it. Did Trump pick the wrong fight?
