This is what faculty solidarity looks like. Recognize the power in your position and use it.
The undersigned faculty in @NorthwesternU's Department of Political Science stand with @NorthwesternGW and all our graduate students during this pandemic.

It is truly heartening to see Northwestern faculty members, such as @eshurd and @MichaelRMuniz, standing in solidarity with graduate student workers as we demand #universal1yr (among other things) from @TGSatNU. I hope even more will join them. This is no time for apathy! (1/2)
"At the end of the day, we are an apparatus of solidarity on campus" @mrhannun for @WeAreGAGE in solidarity w @uchicagogsu @NorthwesternGW @PrincetonGSU @loyolaforus @GWCUAW
solidarity work. it's how we move past institutions that put profits over people.
Now talking about coalition building between graduate worker unions outside of national unions with members from @NorthwesternGW @PrincetonGSU @loyolaforus @GWCUAW
Y'all know I'm never on Twitter. But I need more voices in this moment of reckoning. Follow suggestions welcome #BlackLivesMatter and #chicago #dc
Days of protests and the president takes decisive military action to "protect businesses" while months into a pandemic 106,000 Americans are dead and frontline workers w/o PPE. Lest there be any confusion about who the state serves.
was such a pleasure to work on this @APSAMENA newsletter with so many thoughtful scholars doing important work re challenges, ethics, and opportunities for research in the MENA
