Resist and Reclaim our Future!
10th Annual National Student Labor Week of Action
We are living in a historic moment; that is what everyone around us keeps saying. But this moment’s role in history is defined by what we do within it. Many of us participated in the recent election for change but are now faced with the reality that we need further action. Budget cuts in our universities, home loss and unemployment in our families and lack of good jobs for our future after college all threaten our quality of life.
The 10th annual National Student Labor Week of Action, hosted by the Student Labor Action Project, is an opportunity to reclaim our future by mobilizing our communities. From March 27 th to April 4 th , in honor of the lives of Martin Luther King Jr and Cesar Chavez, students and workers will unite and demand:
- The passage of the Employee Free Choice Act and living wages for all campus employees
- University codes of conduct that support workers’ rights both on campus and overseas
- Development of “green jobs” that support workers in our
communities and promote a healthy
environment
- Access to higher
education for all and the passage of the DREAM Act
- Fair wages & working conditions for the people who grow our food and harvest our crops
