Today, a small but mighty group of @aft.org and @aaup.org higher ed workers are on the Hill for the budget our communities deserve: no cuts to research, no cuts to student aid 💪

College students & their faculty are critical in the fight against democratic backsliding. Our coalitions must continue to organize and grow to win inside & outside of campus

A Real Solutions for Higher Education win!! Congrats to @csuaaup.bsky.social for standing up for students -- fighting to make quality education in Connecticut a path to good jobs, not lifelong debt. Onward! 💪

NEW RESOURCE: The Big Ugly Betrayal Bill Congress is considering right now threatens access to higher ed in every state.

The Trump admin’s cuts to research & medical care hurt families & waste billions. They're dangerous to our health & our economy.

On Tues, April 8, workers nationwide are demanding NO cuts to education & life-saving research.

Join us: www.killthecuts.org #KillTheCuts

“We need a government that continues to invest in scientific research, not tax cuts for billionaires.”

Taking away badly needed funding for life-saving research cuts lives short and limits vital economic activity that our communities desperately need.

Join us TODAY in DC as we say: Hands Off Our Healthcare, Our Research and Our Jobs!
