Know Your Rights When Approached by Immigration Officials in New Jersey www.aclu-nj.org/know-your-ri...

At a time of increasing attacks on civil rights and workers rights, we honor Black History Month & recognize that the fight for labor rights is indebted to & intrinsically tied to the fight for Black liberation & we celebrate Black organizers & activists, past, present, & future. #BlackHistoryMonth

📣 ✊ We at RUAAUP-AFT & the @ruaaup-ptl.bsky.social stand in solidarity with our @uupinfo.bsky.social higher ed worker siblings as they begin negotiations for a fair and just contract! #UUPContract ✊📣

We need to know the opponents, get on the offense to head off the next phases of their dismantling higher ed. "Directing efforts to eliminate the Department of Ed and downsize the federal role in higher ed would be a major step forward." @aaup.org @higheredlabor.bsky.social

On behalf of the nearly 9 million people who are now in default on their student loans, our coalition has called on the federal Education Department to halt its plans to begin garnishing borrower wages this month. sdvoice.info/coalition-ca...

🚨New Ad: Our campaign is surging and gaining momentum. After 25 years fighting for our communities, I’m ready to fight for New Jersey on day one, and that’s why @aoc.bsky.social and Bernie Sanders support me. NJ-11 is ready for bold change!

We welcome you to join VA nurses, federal workers & your union siblings in remembrance of beloved VA Nurse and AFGE Local 3669 member Alex Pretti. Together, we will honor his memory and call for an end to ICE and Border Patrol’s reckless and unjust treatment of protestors, immigrants and Americans.

We will only stop this if we organize together, in our workplaces and in our neighborhoods. Read the full statement and find ways to fight back here: https://loom.ly/RS-UncE

📣✊ Tomorrow at the Morristown Library! see also the NJCIC resources linked in our linktree and here: www.njcic.org/immigrants-r...

@aaup.org President Todd Wolfson on the killing of Alex Pretti: "This moment demands a unified, bold, and powerful response from the labor movement. We are uniting across sectors to organize, mobilize, and wield our full collective power to confront ICE." Full statement www.aaup.org/news/aaup-pr...

We’re approaching 50,000 signups for tomorrow’s training on exercising your rights at a time when federal agents are terrorizing our communities. We hope to see you there.

TONIGHT: Join the mass call on documenting and recording law enforcement encounters. We’ll discuss how you can keep taking action as federal agents terrorize our communities. Using our constitutional right to document and record ICE & CBP is more important than ever: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Event Alert! 📢Local Know Your Rights training hosted by NJCIC this Tuesday in Morristown.

📣 ✊ 🆘 We'll be adding a lot of these resources to our own linktree but in the meantime @aaup.org has a good repository for resources, guidelines, and events and actions. https://loom.ly/EgHpzlc

"When universities censor topics involving race, gender, sexuality, power & inequity, they are not protecting students. They are underpreparing them. They deprive students of the intellectual tools to become informed citizens." — Dr. Leonard Bright, AAUP Texas A&M

TOMORROW!

Plato is one of the most famous ancient philosophers of all time. He also thought there were more than 2 genders & homosexuality was normal — that's why Texas A&M wants to censor him. "How can a serious research university, an R1 university, censor Plato in a philosophy class?" — Martin Peterson

What an unthinkable horror to see children in ICE's custody. In what possible way does picking up preschoolers off the street make our communities safer? www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

📣 What’s better than a canvass? A BIG ASS CANVASS! Join Team Analilia THIS WEEKEND as we knock doors and mobilize voters during the FINAL PUSH to Election Day! Let’s get out there and send an unbossed and unbought organizer to Congress. Sign up here: www.mobilize.us/analiliaforn...

👩‍🏫 Faculty! 📣 Head to our website to find suggested language to include in your syllabi to show your commitment to supporting trans people in the Rutgers community! 🏳️‍⚧️ https://loom.ly/y1jdWCo

The union representing Portland State’s faculty is fighting the cuts, and an arbitrator last month ordered the university to reinstate most of those laid off. The university initially refused … but last week…it reinstated 10 faculty members. @psuaaup.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“It seems to me that we now have the ideological arm of the Trump admin giving out money to support the production of knowledge in ways that they approve of. In a way, the NEH has become a parallel institution to the Koch Foundation.” — Joan Scott, AAUP Committee on Academic Freedom & Tenure

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

This Saturday! Join union colleagues as we canvass neighbors in support of @analiliafornj.bsky.social Register here for more details: https://www.mobilize.us/analiliafornj/event/888904/

ICE can not be trusted in or communities; NJ needs to act NOW! In his last days as governor, @govmurphy.bsky.social MUST sign Immigrant Protection Bills: Safe Communities Act (A6308/S5036), Privacy Protection Act (A6309/S5037), A6310/S5038 https://loom.ly/mVbNAcY

We are waiting for Judge Young's order in AAUP v. Rubio, but today he proposed a remedy that is small step forward. He said a remedy could be no ideological deportations for "noncitizens who are members of the @aaup.org and the Middle East Studies Association." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

On January 20, we walk out EVERYWHERE. When leaders abuse power, we stop cooperating. On Jan 20 @ 2 pm local time, we walk out to defend our future and our freedom. Find an action near you at the link below. Higher ed workers, let’s show up. @womensmarch.com #FreeAmericaWO

We all need to be talking outside higher ed -- reaching the larger public. Local op-eds, articles, news segments, Instagram. Let's get the word out. Higher ed should be for everyone who wants it. Austerity, not faculty and staff, are gutting that.

ICE's operations have proven to be violent and unchecked. It's important that you remain peaceful and stay safe if you encounter ICE by planning ahead and knowing your rights—particularly if ICE is targeting your community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...
