Dear Joseph G.,
Today, Monday, Sept. 27 at 3pm Eastern/12pm Pacific, join higher ed workers from across the country in a phone banking party to tell members of Congress to support HELU’s legislative priorities. Zoom link here. Together we’ll be making a coordinated push to flood key senators’ offices with phone calls in support of our three priorities for this bill:
- Require all institutions getting federal support to move towards 75% tenure-stream instruction, by converting current adjuncts and NTTs to new tenure stream positions, and by upgrading existing positions so they have protections equivalent to tenure.
- Offer free tuition at BOTH two- and four-year public institutions.
- Require pay parity with TT faculty for remaining adjuncts and a living wage for all campus workers.

We are SO close to winning key labor provisions in the budget reconciliation legislation being finalized by Congress. This is an important moment, and these senators have the power to make some significant advances in higher education for students and for higher ed workers:
- Senator Patty Murray (D-WA): (202) 224-2621
- Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA): (202) 224-4543
- Senator Edward Markey (D-MA): (202) 224-2742
- Senator John Hickenlooper (D-CO): (202) 224-5941
- Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR): (202) 224-3753
Call them TODAY and share these graphics widely with union members and colleagues. They need to hear from us NOW.
In solidarity,
Marisa Chappell and Joe Ramsey for HELU’s Collective Action Committee
