Brown is changing its code of conduct and its proposed changes would undermine and repress student movements for justice, like the important Palestine Solidarity and Anti-ICE movements on campus, and further weaken anti-discrimination protections for our community.
This is an attack on our community and we stand with all other community organizations in dissent to these changes!
We know Brown is trying to undermine our protections both at the bargaining table and via policy changes like these.
Today is the LAST day to submit feedback to Brown. Make your voice heard TODAY!

The first step to demonstrating collective power is showing up to bargaining.
The bargaining committee will begin the session by addressing a major and pressing sticking point in our negotiations to date, namely, Brown’s attempt to remove our ability to use our independent grievance procedure in cases of discrimination and harassment.
See you there!
GLOssary term this week is Grievance Procedure. For more details on GLOs procedure and the changes brown is trying make scroll down a bit to see our infographic on grievance procedures and discrimination and harassment.
See you at Bargaining on Friday @12 in Pembroke 305
We will be having an informational picket during Family Weekend on October 24th 9am-12pm. We MUST show the university that we are unwilling to accept a contract that makes our members more vulnerable to harassment and includes a real wage cut. If you have been waiting for the right time to get involved, that time is now. We need at least 200 people at this picket to register as a credible threat. We will be joined by our community allies, including Democratic nominee for mayor of Providence David Morales.
Despite negotiating for over 9 months, Brown is still refusing to offer more than a 0% raise and rolling back grievance protections for our workers. It’s time to show them that this is completely unacceptable.
PLEASE RSVP and join us in our fight for a fair contract for all our members: http://bit.ly/4hY9qZI
🚨CALLING ALL GRADS AND COMMUNITY COORDINATORS 🚨
Earlier this week, graduate workers and Community Coordinators asked Brown’s negotiating team to meet with them on Friday, 10/16 for a joint bargaining session to discuss Brown’s proposal to take away their right to grieve instances of discrimination and harassment at work. We communicated to them that we feel this to be an urgent subject of bargaining in light of recent reporting on the Cornell 7 case. Brown’s representatives replied that their schedules didn’t allow for it and have yet to offer an alternative time.
We’re done with excuses about scheduling. If Brown won’t bargain, we’ll use the time to talk to one another about how we’ll get them back at the table regularly to bargain the fair contracts we deserve. See you Friday, 10/16 at noon in Sayles Auditorium!!
