American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is organizing a one-day action on April 17 .

Mia McIver and Rotua Lumbantobing : We’re starting by building a stronger, more militant, AAUP.

AAUP was a lead organizer of a Labor for Higher Education event that brought 10,000 people to protests.

The AAUP is using the crisis provoked by DOGE , the administration and the right wing to build power for labor.

Lumbantobing: We need to do a better job of engaging the public so that they know what we do and why it matters.

The right knows that universities are pillars of civil society which is why they want to control them.

AAUP chapter leaders in many places have gone to student government meetings on their campuses to keep everyone informed.

Graduate students, in particular, have responded to cutbacks and job insecurity by forming grad union chapters on dozens of campuses.

AAUP: This is going to be a long fight. We need everyone on board. This is why we're developing a multi-pronged approach.
