Rutgers AAUP-AFT is bringing back Freedom School in the tradition of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the 1960s civil rights movement. The pandemic has disrupted both our ordinary lives and how we connect to each other as a union. We want Freedom School to be a virtual classroom and discussion space for union members, students, and the community to develop leadership and political consciousness for a new generation.
Join us for regular Thursday-night discussions featuring speakers from the labor and social movements, as well as the Rutgers community and our Coalition unions, to discuss the themes that inform our current struggles for economic, racial, and social justice. You can watch past sessions on YouTube. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel so you don’t miss other union videos!
