United to Defend Higher Education at SFSU

Last weekend, 4123 members joined faculty, students, staff, and community members around the state to gather at San Francisco State for the United to Defend Higher Education conference. 

Attendees voted on demands, attended workshops, and strategized how to stop the cuts to education, build mass support for redirecting CSU statewide funds to the classroom, defend academic freedom and civil liberties, and prioritize CA state funding for public education and social services instead of incarceration, deportation and occupation. 

UAW 4123 president, Lark Winner, spoke alongside CFA president, Charles Toombs, and Congressmember, Latifah Simon, about how to push back against austerity measures and protect the future of public higher education for everyone.
