Upcoming Events April 1st and April 8th (Higher Ed Labor United)

April 1: How the Department of Education's Destruction Impacts Higher Education Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. This comes on top of recent mass firings and funding cuts. The Dept of Ed provides vital services and support both for higher education and K-12, but we aren't always aware of its impact. On Tuesday, April 1, impacted workers and union leaders will discuss what higher education loses when the Department of Education is destroyed and how we can respond collectively. We will provide details on organizing next steps. Join us for the conversation on April 1.   Register for April 1 April 8: Kill the Cuts Nationwide Actions By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health, and dangerous to our economy. On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 workers across the country are standing up and demanding NO cuts to education and life-saving research. Organize an action for April 8 or join one already in the works.   Register for an April 8 Action Want to support our work? Make a contribution.
