In partnership with more than a dozen other local groups, AAUP-CSU will be participating in the AAUP National Day of Action for Higher Education on November 7.
Planned events:
- Thursday, Nov 6, Sign-Making Party, 5:00pm – 7:00pm, CSU Pavilion (map here).
- Friday, Nov 7, 10am – 2pm — Several tables will be collecting mutual aid donations from local organizations. (A list of organizations will be added soon). With this week’s major reduction of SNAP benefits, thousands in our community (especially families and students) are potentially facing an immediate increase in food insecurity that will also affecting their ability to pay for housing, medical care, and educational expenses. Please work with your neighbors to collect and bring donations to distribute among the community, and come to the rally to learn about how you can support these groups through volunteering or financial contributions. The following types of donations are especially needed:
- non-perishable food, hygiene, and first aid products
- warm jackets, socks, hats
- camping gear
- Community action tables on the LSC Plaza. From 10am-2pm, more than a dozen groups will have tables to distribute information on small actions that can make a big difference to protect higher education. Come by the AAUP-CSU table to complete a postcard asking CSU administration to take a stand to support academic freedom, to protect free speech, and to maintain student support centers.
- Free Movie. At 6:30pm in the evening on November 7th, we are hosting a special screening of the acclaimed documentary The Librarians (click the link to watch the trailer). The film will be shown at CSU in Behavioral Sciences Building in room A101. Tickets are Free with Registration HERE.
