Welcome to the MIT Graduate Student Union!

We are a democratic organization of graduate student-workers across all MIT departments and graduate programs, using our collective power to fight for the interests of all MIT graduate workers.

MIT, Stand Up For Us!

The livelihoods and rights of grad workers hang in the balance as the Trump administration continues its assault on higher education.

Our union has worked with 11 other UE grad locals and the MIT chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) to put forth a set of demands for the MIT administration:

Protect international workers
Protect academic freedom and free expression
Preserve research funding
Defend for our queer/trans community

We invite all MIT community members—undergrads, grad workers, postdocs, faculty, staff, and alumni—to sign onto the MIT Stand Up for Us petition to show their support for these demands. Please forward this email to your labmates and coworkers!
