We have learned that, in their rush to dock our pay, U-M Admin denied medical leave to a grad worker about to undergo chemotherapy for brain cancer (even with their extensive documentation). This is emblematic of @UMich's treatment of us throughout this campaign.
Also important, White women were equally likely to be buyers as sellers, so it is not the case that their involvement was only on one "side" of the market. This is inconsistent with White women being passive owners from, say, the death of a spouse. 10/N
PLOT TWIST: The big finding? White women were MOST involved in owning enslaved Black women. In New Orleans, White women were involved in 51.95% of female-based transactions. In notaries, 42.45%. In runaway advertisements, 25.44%. The gender of enslavement was gendered. 9/N
Recently, I've been working on gender and American enslavement. Inspired by @sejr_historian's brilliant work, I want to quantify the propensity of White women to be active as economic agents in the market for enslaved people. Preliminary results are in! Buckle up!! A 🧵 1/N
The actions @UMichHR have taken against grad workers are deplorable! Support grad workers who are now facing wages being withheld. @givebutter givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund
Today @UMich officially docked pay for striking workers. We are already struggling to pay our groceries. By docking our pay, the administration is putting us at risk of eviction. Help us make rent as we keep fighting - support our strike fund now: givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund
BREAKING: @UMich president docks pay, sends cops on picketing grad workers (Full press release below 📣)
well. @UMich has officially docked all pay but $100 for april from its grad workers, putting many of us in a position of dangerous financial precarity. friends/allies, please consider donating to @geo3550 strike fund at givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund. we need all the help we can get ✊
No graduate student worker should be living in poverty while the University of Michigan sits atop a $17 billion endowment. These 2,500 workers deserve safe working conditions and living wages. The University must bargain a fair contract immediately.

Thank you to our speakers and showcase attendees for helping us and @FurmanU kick off the #ClearlyFurman campaign! We are so proud to be part of this community and wide network of leaders. @JessicaTaylor @foster5253 @TonyTonymcdade1 @brainyblkgrl
“I haven't known any other college organization that integrates students into events and professional experiences as well as The Riley Institute,” says @JessicaTaylor
A majority of the Ann Arbor City Council has signed a statement of solidarity with our strike! "Strikes have long been a key tool used by working people to challenge the powerful and win fair pay and dignified lives." Read the full letter at: drive.google.com/file/d/1qSoyTh…
The streets cannot contain GEO, as members and allies march on the courtroom to oppose U-M's union-busting tactics. Striking is a human right and we're ready to fight to prove it!
At today's hearing, the judge refused to issue a temporary restraining order against GEO. This is a HUGE WIN for the union - we continue to organize, strike, and pressure the University to meet our demands at the bargaining table. They can lie, they can sue, but UM works because…
Zooming into week 2 unbothered by the injunction like
Welcome to week 2! We have a packed schedule — show up for yourself, show up for your coworkers — we are stronger together! Our strength lies within us — united we bargain, divided we beg!
Tonight our members moved to STRIKE! Join us on the Diag this WEDNESDAY at 10:24 AM as we WALK OUT and walk away from $24K—we’re striking for a living wage! When we stand together, we stand strong!
