Help MCAD faculty win a fair contract! Read and sign act.seiu.org/a/mcad-petit..., then let's rally and deliver our petition!
Image of a poster, which has comic art and text at the top, which reads, "Help mcad faculty win a fair contract!" Beneath the text, a comic panel shows someone in a suite saying, "hmmm," while reading a piece of paper with from mcad faculty, to mcad admin written on it. A comic panel to the right whos the same suit-wearing folk asking, "huh?" while a large speech bubble overlaps from beneath the panel, containing the words, "pay us fairly!" More speech bubbles next to the first contain the words, "respect us!" and "give us a voice!" A long document of signatures trails from beneath the speech bubbles, supported by folks in a crowd. More text reads, "faculty, staff, friends, family, members in community, show them we care! Read and sign here," followed by an arrow pointing to a qr code for a petition. Beneath the qr code the text continues with, " and share! Then, let's rally and deliver our petition! Straight to the president!" The date October 6th, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm, and location, Washburn Fair Oaks Park, are printed in the lower left.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.
