A lot of attention has been paid to the impending strike of the transit workers here in NYC (and we will see what happens today as the new strike deadline approaches at midnight tonight). But, in the meantime, I’m going to make a holiday pitch for some other strikers.

Graduate students at New York University have been on strike for a number of weeks now. I’ve been on their pickets lines repeatedly and the spirit remains high–but there isn’t a lot of money for these folks to pay the bills. So, maybe we can all skip buying one gift this holiday season and instead send a check to help these folks: UAW Local 2110, 113 University Place, NY, NY 10003 (make checks out to Local 2110–GSOC Hardship Fund).
