As campus workers and citizens, educators and researchers, staff, students, and university community members, we exercise a powerful collective voice in advancing the democratic mission of our colleges and universities. It is our labor and our ideas which sustain higher education as a project that preserves and extends social equality and the common good—as a project of social emancipation.
On
April 17, 2025, we will hold a one-day action on and around our
campuses to renew this vision of higher education as an autonomous
public good, and university workers as its most important resource.
Free Higher Ed Now! will
demand FIRST that public higher education in the U.S. be fully funded,
politically independent, and FREE to all students and SECOND that higher
ed be FREE of political interference that reduces the rights and
autonomy of campus workers and students to teach, study, learn, speak,
organize, and dissent. Read and endorse our agenda here.
