become an action host

By showing up visibly as the higher education sector across the country on days of mass action, we put our demands for affordability, the freedom to learn and teach, and security for our workers and work at the center of national conversations.

At each action across the country, local Action Hosts make things happen.

What do Action Hosts do?

For days of mass action to succeed and have lasting impact, we need local coordination and leadership. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to planning and implementing initiatives like these. We need leaders like you to help us shape a viable plan that is grounded in local conditions and linked to the national project.

Days of mass action cannot be our end goal, but they are vital chances to form lasting coalition to fight for justice and fairness in our institutions and communities.
