    We've been on a grading strike for a Cost of Living Adjustment since December & are now organizing for a full indefinite wildcat strike starting on February 10. Please show support and solidarity by donating to our strike fund.

    i've also learned how upper administration does not care about grads, undergrads, or even faculty! they are putting faculty in such untenable positions and I'm heartened that so many at my uni are publicly refusing

    i predominantly teach film students who want to go work in the film industry -- who will then likely join a union! this is such key, practical knowledge for them! the videogame students are learning the importance of organizing, the power of the collective, + the need for unions

    this strike is some of the best education we grad students could receive. we're learning the power of organizing, direct action, community support. our undergrads are learning tons too; we do regular teach-ins about COLA, labour organizing, community support, and justice

    UCSC grad students are escalating our strike for a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) from withholding grades to a teaching strike! The administration has threatened us with disciplinary action, continues trying to pit undergrads and faculty against us; this is the only way forward

    full house (& zoom) at the Strike General Assembly at UCSC last night. Grads overwhelmingly were in support of a full strike. The questions was simply when. The answer - February 10! Proud to walk among wildcat legends.

    Phil Donahue: Are you a capitalist? Bernie Sanders: 'No I am not a capitalist...do I believe that the profit motive is fundamental to human nature? The answer is no. I (believe in) the spirit of cooperation, that you & I can work together...rather than destroy eachother' 1981.

    Kara Stone () has described her work for “reparative game design” as “a method to work through difficult feelings, but it is also a means to stay in them as long as they need to be felt.”

    For admin, the idea that grad students should “struggle financially” - should suffer, work 2 or 3 jobs, skip meals, live in their cars - is not only acceptable but an expected part of their operations

    alongside this shit offer was threats of retaliation against strikers. some have received a disciplinary summons based on going against the student code of conduct - but that does not apply here as this is a labour issue! we are workers!
