💪 We showed up. We spoke out. We won’t back down. 💪 Read the article in the Johns Hopkins News-Letter detailing our action last Tuesday! buff.ly/4hxrVCZ TRU members showed the university that we won't allow them to deny us the right to representation, whether they like it or not!

📢JHU is denying some of our engineering coworkers their promised pay for teaching. We need to stand up for each other to prevent Hopkins from repeating this violation in other departments in the future. Join next Tuesday’s march and sign our petition here! tinyurl.com/heart-heroic-march

The 2024 US presidential election is over, but EWOC believes we must organize between elections, too. There’s no better time to start building our working class power than now, and here's why: 🧵1/10

The work continues.

Now is the most important time to be organized.

Our union was built to fight for people of color, queer workers, our trans siblings, and all marginalized people in our workplaces
and our communities.

The work continues, and the rank-and-file leaders of our union will never stop fighting for a better future. WORKER POWER is our way to achieve that. And there’s so much power in mutual aid and organizing with our communities.

Through our union, we are going to fight together and protect each other - and we WILL win.

Organizing against the JHPD starts with the conversations you have with your friends and colleagues. Join TRU-UE tonight to learn how to have conversations about policing, how it affects our safety, our union, and our community. 💪💪💪 RSVP here: tinyurl.com/tru-jhpd-training

We're making the jump from the Other Site! We're Teachers and Researchers United, the grad worker union at Johns Hopkins University (UE Local 197). After winning our election with 97% of the vote and ratifying one of the strongest contracts in higher ed, we're now fighting to protect our rights.
