President of UCWVA (CWA). #1u #campusworkers4democracy
Plan your work. Work your plan. 💪✊🔥📢

Remember to vote today! In Virginia we have same-day voter registration, so if you're not registered, it's not too late.

@ucwva.bsky.social showed up for pro-labor candidates in southwest VA this weekend! We've endorsed @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social for the 41st House District, and UCWVA member Darryl Campbell for Town Council. It's an honor to be part of expanding democratic participation. #CampusWorkers4Democracy

THIS is what solidarity looks like in higher ed! ✊

#DefendHigherEd
1000 people doesn't just happen--this took incredible collaboration between UCWVA-UVA and @aaup.org, as well as Wahoos4UVA, UVA Undergrad Student Council, Professors emeriti of UVA, UndocUVA, and UVA chapters of the National Campus Jewish Alliance, Rise Up, Indivisible, and Jewish Voice for Peace.

I could not be more proud of UCWVA-UVA, the founding chapter of @ucwva, and in particular the UVA Faculty Committee. Anyone who knows UVA knows that its rejection of the compact was not a foregone conclusion. And the stakes could not be higher. Academic freedom is a cornerstone of democracy.

I'm voting for @jonesjay.bsky.social because we need an AG who's going to fight for our rights in higher ed, not another 4 years with the guy who paved the way for teargassing our students. And also because I'm not five years old and I can recognize a political hit job when I see it.

Rasoul is a god damn state hero & I'll die on that hill. Mealymouthed centrists pandering to genocide supporters will only get us further down the road to total fascist takeover.
I stand w/ @samrasoul.bsky.social! Not only because he has a track record of standing with us, not only because of his willingness to fight powerful moneyed interests, but also because Sam is right to call attention to genocide. The moral bankruptcy of focusing on semantics should be self evident.

This month marks my 3 year anniversary as a union president and more importantly, my 5 year anniversary as a union member. I am very proud, and a little terrified about how much we still have left to do. Here are five things I learned in five years:

Happy Pride!
Happy Pride from America’s unions! We’re wishing the LGBTQIA+ community a joyful and safe Pride Month.

The labor movement will always fight for strong contracts that protect LGBTQIA+ workers and make sure everyone can bring their whole selves to work 🏳️‍🌈

A conservative movement wants to remake higher education - to scrap traditional university shared governance in way of more powerful boards and executives. They say it’ll foster intellectual diversity. Educators warn academic freedom is at stake.

Virginia university reform efforts mirror nationwide push to remake higher-education
While the deterioration of independent governance and hiring of tenured faculty has been ongoing for decades, it has been exacerbated by recent politics.

Congress is reviewing a budget reconciliation bill that would be history’s most dangerous higher ed bill. This bill, if passed, will bar working-class families from attending higher education. We need to stop it from passing. @debtcollective.bsky.social higheredlaborunited.org/2025/05/01/d...

May Day is right around the corner! This year, workers across the country are organizing events to uplift the labor movement in the face of federal attacks on labor.

You can learn more about each event and how you can get involved at tinyurl.com/May-Day-2025, or at the link in bio.

The ableism that RFK Jr. spreads may lead to more parents being horrible to their disabled kids. A "leader" spreading harmful rhetoric may influence parents.
Probably true and yet RFK Jr may be more dangerous because he is less hemmed in than a SecDef inevitably is.

@harryszabo.bsky.social is right: The truth is the Trump administration is not conservative, they are anti-democratic & the only thing capable of beating them is a powerful movement for democratization. Campus workers have been on the front lines of these attacks. Pass Collective Bargaining NOW!

No educator should fear for their safety while teaching. Let alone without healthcare, @harryszabo.bsky.social said it best, no one benefits more from dignified working conditions than our students. It’s long overdue VA pass Collective Bargaining and protect both our educators and their students.

“Jackie Robinson transcends any debate that’s going on in today’s society about issues surrounding DEI,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said.
