To pique your interest: This film depicts the story of famous union activist A. Philip Randolph and the unionization of the black porters of Pullman Rail Company during the 1920’s. A story that is important to the history of organized labor, and stands to inspire us today as we keep fighting!

We stand against attacks on our queer colleagues. We stand firm against incoming attacks on organized labor, on the right to protest, and our local community.
We stand up for the most vulnerable among us, we fight to protect diversity at our school, and we will win justice and dignity for all. 2/3

With this new contract won, there's also the issue of holding NMSU to the terms they just agreed to. We're going to need your help to succeed in both of these endeavors!

While this is a win, we've still got a lot of work to do, and a lot of room to grow as a union. At roughly 175 members, we're doing well, but are a ways away from majority. Not to mention, there are departments we don't have a single member in! 2/5
