We support the UMMAP demand for Pregnancy Loss Bereavement Leave, a right we won in our contract. When denying the UMMAP proposal, UM said UMMAP are a different class of employee. It's true our status as trainees & employees present some unique issues— pregnancy loss is not one.

Many reporters have asked for our response to people who say we don’t actually understand Middle East issues or what we’re fighting for. Yet today, we’re here in conversation w renowned historian Ilan Pappé. Who are YOU learning from? Do YOU really know what you’re fighting for?

The students poised to lose college graduations to protests already lost high school graduation to a pandemic.
Listen, I love graduation. But we have to reckon with the fact that this gen may find social change through protest more fulfilling than a graduation ceremony.
