   Getting ready for my first protest in a while -- gotta make some signs to support the Tufts union professors who will be picketing in the morning! Nothing says love like the smell of sharpies at midnight!!

     Tufts full-time professors have been working without a contract since JUNE 2024!

     Before then, their cost of living increased 21% and their salary only increased 13%!

     The total cost of salaries for all faculty is only 3.5% of the university's annual budget! 🤯

     This just keeps getting worse!! #Tufts #tuftsuniversity #MedfordMA #SomervilleMA #MApoli

     Fun fact! Tufts professors are paid so low lately, on average, that they qualify for subsidized housing and food assistance. FULL-TIME FACULTY ARE PAID LOWER THAN 80% AMI AND CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE.

     A good crowd of solidarity for the rally and the picketing! Yay! I found a few classmates (one pictured), several professors I've had class with, and 3 of my elected officials (Erica, Ben, Willie)! #Tufts #tuftsuniversity #union #protest #picketing #maskup
