Another huge win for us all. Queens University officially included protection against caste discrimination in their policy. Thanks to @PSAC901 Kavya Jidugu & the team for their long fight for it. Queens university is 2nd university in Canada to add caste protection #JaiBhim

After a decade-long freeze, the Government of Canada is finally increasing the size of TriCouncil awards for graduate students. This is welcome news for the next generation of researchers across the country, and a long overdue investment in Canada's social and economic future.

Thank you so much Queens University @PSAC901 for adding caste to the anti harassment policy. This is the 2nd university in Canada to take such bold steps for caste equity. Jai Bhim💙 #CasteEquityinCanada @OntHumanRights

On February 29, 2024, PSAC 901's Steward’s Council unanimously voted to add 'caste' to our anti-harassment statement as a ground for discrimination. This statement is read at the outset of all meetings held by the local which are open to the membership. #psac901

This month, I talked to the @Queens_AMS & @AMS_UBC food banks, and @PSAC901 about keeping up with demand for aid from food insecure students. Each organization is breaking records in spending to provide support to students. Read below: queensjournal.ca/data-across…

Data across the board suggests increased food bank usership - The Queen's Journal

In 1981, the first Canadian food bank opened in Edmonton. The idea behind food banks at the time was to provide a temporary charitable relief as Canadians struggled through a recession. Forty-two...

Universities in Ontario obfuscate the real issue of grad student poverty by quoting the hourly wage and not revealing yearly income + tuition payment which works out to below minimum wage. Solidarity! @cupe4600

Getting tired of having to repeat simple facts. #QueensU is built on the backs of graduate student labour/poverty. We research, teach, study ... and we can't afford groceries. @PSAC901 is uniting our voices. Will we be heard? @QueensPrincipal #ValueOurwork! #gradschool

I was in grad school 25 years ago and made ~ 13k/year. But tuition was negligible and I shared a rent of $400/month with my husband. I actually had money LEFT OVER every month. Students and PDFs do most of the work to make Queens what is is. Let’s give them a living wage! – at Kingston, Ontario
