Crowds at the last rally for science in March
Join us at the “Kill the Cuts” rally tomorrow, 4/8, at 5pm in Bryant Park!
The Trump administration is pushing massive cuts to the NIH and other federal research agencies, and academic institutions across the country are already responding with reduced admissions for PhD students, hiring freezes, and laying off workers. If these cuts go through, they will jeopardize our work and, for those of us who are here on visas, our ability to remain in the country.
April is a critical time for funding decisions in Congress. That is why academic workers and allies across NYC are planning to attend the ”Kill the Cuts” rally at 5pm on April 8th at Bryant Park, part of a National Day of Action to fight back against the funding cuts that are affecting our institutions right now. It is also extremely important that we come together as union members at this moment, so that we have the strongest possible voice in shaping how our institution responds to this crisis.
Postdocs, grad workers, researchers, and staff from Rockefeller will be joining academic workers from across NYC for a rally at 5pm in Bryant Park. Rockefeller community members will be meeting outside the gate at 66th and York at 4:30pm to head down together.
Can you take a minute to RSVP here?
In solidarity,
UPROR-UAW Organizing Committee
