Join the Abolitionist Educators Support Campaign!
1) Give today: We need you to meet our goals this year. We know that our ability to give varies dramatically from senior faculty to grad students to K-12 educators and in many other ways. But whether its $10/month or $1,000 right now, we all can give. Every gain against the PIC creates better conditions to win back public investment in education. Donate to the Abolitionist Educators Campaign HERE.
2) Pledge an Honorarium: Sharing institutional resources is an important wealth redistribution tactic. Alongside our individual giving, we are looking for pledges to direct institutional money to CR in 2013. This could mean donating part or all of an honorarium from something you’ve already scheduled to do, or organizing a CR member to come to campus and share a talk or workshop.
3) Sign this letter: It is easier to collectivize power when we know who we’re joining forces with. This is all the more true in a profession that prizes individualism and atomized work. If you sign onto this letter, we can show the depth and strength of our commitment to CR even more clearly. Moving into the future, this campaign may provide the bases for an Abolitionist Educators Support Network.
4) Pass it on: Forward this letter to 20 colleagues and comrades. Can you pledge to raise $500 from educators and academics you work with? Can you post information about this call on your blog? Can you post it on your Facebook page?
