Candidate town Halls
Higher education workers are organizing for a stronger future for higher education.
This fall, Labor for Higher Ed will bring together unions, higher education workers, and candidates for federal office for a series of cross-union Town Halls in strategic locations across the country.
Held throughout September and October, these nonpartisan public events will give higher education workers the opportunity to ask candidates directly about:
How they would respond to current federal higher education policies
How they would fight for stronger public investment in higher education
How they would protect workers and strengthen labor rights
What a positive legislative agenda for higher education should look like
Organizing People.
Organizing Champions.
