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 by calling your senators! A walkout/rally is currently being organized for Lawrence, Kansas with more information to come.

When: Wednesday, Nov 29 at 12PM CENTRAL TIME

Where: Meet up near Wescoe HallGet directions

Spread the word!

Yours in solidarity,
