Hands Off Our Healthcare, Research, Jobs Rally!

Mark your calendars and spread the word to your colleagues!

This Wednesday, February 19 at 12 p.m., join colleagues and coworkers from across Penn outside Senator Dave McCormick’s office (2000 Market Street) to say no to federal funding cuts to essential research, teaching, and healthcare. Register here to attend!

The Trump administration’s attempts to freeze federal research funding, slash NIH and NSF resources, and impose a debilitating cap on indirect costs in NIH grants all threaten life-saving scientific and medical research. They endanger the future of higher education, research, and healthcare that serves the public good. They could cost hundreds of thousands of jobs in our city.

Wednesday’s demonstration is part of a national day of action against federal funding cuts, organized by faculty, graduate workers, postdocs, healthcare workers, and other higher ed workers in AAUP, AFT, UAW, CWA, and other higher ed unions. Across the country, higher ed workers will stand together to say: Hands Off Our Healthcare, Research, and Jobs! 
Join the demonstration this Wednesday at noon, and bring a colleague with you. Everyone is welcome. Register here to attend!
