Students Arrested at George Washington University
The DC police arrested 13 students from George Washington and Georgetown universities yesterday. As part of a peaceful occupation of the lobby of their student union building, the students were demanding that George Washington University take a stand on workers' rights (see 3/26 post, below).
If GW, the second largest employer in Washington, DC, is allowed to trample on workers' rights, the rights of workers throughout the nation's capital are jeopardized. Click below to send a fax to GW President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg demanding he drop the charges against the students and support workers' rights.
