Hands Off Our Healthcare Research Jobs

The billionaire class is waging a war on workers, putting our nation’s healthcare, research, education, and jobs at risk. These attacks target workers at colleges and universities in many ways: through imposing a cap on indirect costs on grants across the NIH, freezing funding for crucial research, and threatening academic workers across the country.

On Tuesday, February 25, we’re taking this massive energy directly to D.C. Register to join us in-person or online for a viewing party and national phone bank.

Labor leaders and organizers representing hundreds of thousands of higher education and allied workers will rally in D.C. to expose how Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks on research and higher education funding are decimating public health while siphoning off public resources for private gain.

At the same time, higher ed workers and allies will join together online to get energized by each other and the events in Washington, D.C. We will use our power to tell our legislators and elected officials: Hands off our healthcare, research, jobs, and education!

Organized by the Labor for Higher Ed Coalition.

In-person: U.S. Health and Human Services Headquarters, 200 Independence Avenue SW
