Solidarity with academic workers striking at University of California, Santa Cruz against police repression of campus Gaza protests! And with the 48,000 academic workers, at 11 UC campuses, who have just authorized a statewide strike vote.

Meanwhile the UC has filed an unfair labor practices complaint with the NLRB, claiming it's unlawful to strike over issues that aren't "labor related." But how is it not "labor related" when the UC is firing and disciplining teachers for expressing solidarity with Palestine? How is it not "labor related" when they're using the police to create a violent and disruptive environment in their workplaces?

and see Israel's devolution into genocidal madness dragging the US, for many quite willingly, further into our own madness tracing from the very origin stories of the colonies.
