UNC Police protect white supremacists and brutalize UNC students. UNC admin love to condemn "unlawful" acts, but will not stand up to racism, terror, and hate. We deserve so much better. #strikebackunc Along with so many other UNC student orgs, we demand (link in bio): 1) Stop harassing, spying on, and arbitrarily arresting anti-racist protesters. 2) Stop coordinating with white supremacists. 3) Lift the “no trespass” orders against anti-racist protestors. 4) Stop police brutality and excessive force. 5) Stop inviting outside police agencies onto our campus. 6) Allow community-based investigation and accountability in response to police collaboration with armed white supremacists on UNC Campus.

The Workers Union at UNC supports Graduate Workers at CU Boulder who are organizing a walkout today in protest of student fees imposed on them. This is an unfair and unjust pay to work policy that @cuboulder workers simply won't tolerate any longer. We call on CU Boulder to end graduate student fees now! #Dontpaytowork #waiveourfeesgoodbye #cuboulder
