Good Adjuncts,
This is Geoff Johnson, AFT-ACC President, Adjunct Rep for AFT 1931 (San Diego-Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District), and SCEA (Southwestern College Education Association), encouraging you to check out the HELU Winter Summit, from Feb 23rd-27th.
HELU is a cross union cross labor sector coalition of Higher Ed faculty, including adjunct/contingent faculty, classified staff and paraprofessionals, and graduate student workers fighting to reclaim Higher Ed from disinvestment, and adjunct/contingent, staff, and graduate student worker exploitation.
AFT-ACC and AFT 1931 is are official endorsees of HELU’s Vision Platform
The goal of the HELU Summit, in a bit of a follow up to its Summer 2021 Summit, is to bring greater awareness of HELU, and of the issues and goals around its efforts, and to begin making plans towards the realization of the goals listed in the vision platform.
The summit will also feature a slate of noted progressive and labor activists such as Noami Klein and Jane McAlevey.
Winter Summit Featured Speakers
It would be great to see as many Adjunct/Contingent folks at the summit as possible in that this is a great opportunity for adjunct/contingent activists to become connected to a larger national Higher Ed labor scene and build greater solidarity.
I know right now that a lot of us are busy, but registration is free, and you don’t have to hit all the sessions, though HELU will accept donations
Here’s a registration link:

See you there.
In solidarity,
