Grad Tax Walkout/Rally

Start: Wednesday, November 29, 201710:00 AM

Dear fellow students/colleagues/members of the community,

The proposed tax plan includes a $1.5 trillion corporate tax cut and a giant tax hike on graduate students. The bill would double or even triple many students’ taxes, making graduate school an unaffordable proposition except for those already independently wealthy.

There will be a nationwide rally/walkout on Wednesday, Nov 29 at 1pm EST/ 10am PST to support higher education and show how vital graduate students are to society. Graduate students are the bedrock of innovation and research in this country. We are vital for the structure and function of higher education in the United States. Without us, universities wouldn't have enough instructors for their college courses.

Join the nation in protesting the grad student tax here at USC!

When: Wednesday, Nov 29 at 1pm EST/ 10am PST

Where: Tommy Trojan Statue, 801-899 Childs Way, USC University Park Campus, Los Angeles, CA 90089

Spread the word!

Yours in solidarity,

USC Graduate Students
