3000 No Kings events. That’s because America is at an inflection point. Communities are hurting. People are afraid, and they can’t afford the basics. 3,000 No Kings events are already planned across the country & more are being added every day. That’s people power. www.nokings.org/news/over-30...

Today the bill granting collective bargaining rights to Maryland's non-tenure track faculty passed out of the Senate! Unfortunately while certain groups of non-tenure track faculty are omitted, today's vote brings us closer than ever to granting all faculty the rights already enjoyed... [1/3]

The SAVE Act isn’t about protecting elections—it’s about shutting people out of them. It would add more hurdles to the voter registration process and make it tougher for Americans to make their voices heard. Tell your lawmakers to reject the SAVE Act ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

Adjunct faculty at UMD are fighting for union rights — and fair pay. Teaching 4+ classes/year for $57K, no benefits, and juggling family life — all while deans earn 6x more. HB 0106 could change that. @aft.org @afthighered.bsky.social @uam-umd.bsky.social #Unionize #FairPayForFaculty

Jan Bernasconi, an adjunct dance prof at Towson Univ for 26 years, is urging the Maryland Legislature to pass HB 0106, to give nontenure track faculty the right to collective bargaining! 💙 #AdjunctFaculty #HB0106 #HigherEd #MarylandPolitics @aft.org @local6741.bsky.social @afthighered.bsky.social
