UVA: Pledge to walkout March 25-26 for #COVIDActionNow
The UVA and Charlottesville Community
UVA continues to commit harm through its disregard for marginalized students, workers, and community members – refusing to compensate workers, support marginalized students, or take accountability for enabling white Greek life to cause the largest COVID outbreak in the area since the start of the pandemic. We are tired. We will not accept this any longer. On Thursday, March 25 and Friday, March 26, we will walk out to stand up against UVA’s abuses for the sake of workers and students’ dignity and well-being. https://linktr.ee/covidactionnow
