Columbia has ignored the demands of its students, faculty, and wider community for too long. Our union is taking a stand against the persecution of international students and the rampant policing of our students and coworkers.

Today Columbia University illegally barred me and our VP from the bargaining table. In addition to deporting students, it seems union busting is another thing Columbia and Trump can agree on! Do you want to live in a country where your boss gets to decide who your union reps are?

Next, Mahmoud! ✊

Today, Columbia “peace officers” and NYPD kettled and brutalized nearly 100 people of conscience who reclaimed Butler Library as the Basil-al-Araj Liberated Zone. There have been multiple reports of serious injuries.

Claire Shipman just blamed protestors for endangering international students by “making our institution a target.” This is pretty rich from someone who lets DHS search residence halls and disappear students. Concerned? How about working to free Mahmoud? vimeo.com/1082405421

BREAKING: Rümeysa, our union sister who was snatched by ICE, is free today. We stood up for our union family and demanded justice! When you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. #4the1st ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Claire Shitman keeps lying about the Palestine movement on campus and pandering to fascists. But we’ve got the receipts. In this video, we debunk every falsehood she made on May 8th. See the truth about the Popular University and the real source of Columbia’s "unsafe conditions.”

Welcome home, Mahmoud!

Our non-tenured colleagues who teach many of these classes are already reporting mandatory class size increases across the board. When you expel the undergrads, don’t train the graduates, and overwork the faculty, who will want to live, work, and study at Columbia?
