A Call for Solidarity: Supporting the University of the West Indies (UWI), Jamaica November 7 Day of Action Blue UFF (United Faculty of Florida) logo in top right corner. A Personal Note from Dr. Samique March-Dallas, UFF First Vice President: I write to you as both your colleague and as a Jamaican who carries the weight of this crisis in my heart. Our colleagues at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Jamaica, are facing a crisis in the wake of Hurricane Melissa—a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane that has devastated their campus, homes, and lives. Faculty have lost everything. Students face uncertainty about shelter, food, and whether they can continue their education. Classrooms, libraries, and laboratories lie damaged or destroyed. We in Florida understand hurricanes. We know the devastation they bring and the power of solidarity in recovery. The University of the West Indies has long been a beacon of academic excellence in the Caribbean, contributing vital research in climate science, public health, Caribbean studies, and more. Now they need us. Our Call to Action A list of necessary supplies can be found on this Amazon Wish List and purchases made will ship directly to UWI for distribution. Amazon Wishlist link: amzn.to/3LmmsUB To complete your order, UFF members should check their email for the TRN number and ID images. Non-UFF members can email us at uff@floridaea. High-Priority Needs Your support will provide: • Emergency supplies for faculty and students who have lost everything • Medical supplies and basic necessities I urge you to contribute what you can—financial support, materials, or simply spreading awareness. Together, we can help an entire academic community begin the process of recovery. Let us show our colleagues in Jamaica that they are not alone, and that the bonds of our academic community transcend borders. Thank you again for your support of our international colleagues during this time!!

Text reads: NEA Guidance on Immigration Issues. Two links are listed: bit.ly/NEAimm and bit.ly/NEAimm_he Text continues to read: Key Takeaways: 1) All students have a constitutionally protected right to obtain a public education regardless of legal status. 2) Educators have a professional responsibility in fostering inclusivity, empowering students, and advocating for policies that create a safer, more supportive environment for immigrant families. 3) In light of Trump rescinding policy that prohibits ICE from conducting immigration enforcement in public schools, schools can adopt policies to limit ICE enforcement on school grounds, protect student privacy, and reaffirm that education is accessible to all students, regardless of immigration status. Background is blue with a picture of a protest with a sign that reads "Liberation not Deportation"
