May Day Rally at the Catafount

Stand With Us at the Catafount from 11a-1p as we join with Student Organizations and the Sylva Indivisible Group to Stand up for Workers.

This event will feature speakers and chalking of the WCU Free Speech Zone to make our voices heard.

Our Demands for May 1st - Tax the rich so our families, not billionaire fortunes, come first. - No ICE. No war. No private army serving unchecked federal power. - Expand democracy, not corporate power. Hands off our vote.

Together we will be flexing our collective muscle in a tremendous day of power - showing our unity through a day of marches, rallies, and actions including No Work No School No Shopping.

Join as as together we celebrate May 1st through action and community.

Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

No Kings - March 28th

March 28th is No Kings Day (Again!) and this time WCU AAUP is getting involved. If you are a member, potential member, or community supporter, you are a key voice in making it known that we oppose the government's acts of violence against members of our community. It is our goal to have folks representing WCU AAUP in the Sylva, Waynesville, and Asheville protests, but if there is a protest closer to home, participate locally! Wherever you go, be sure to include WCU AAUP on your signage and/or wear your AAUP t-shirt so that everyone knows that WCU AAUP says "No Kings". Be sure to take pictures of your involvement! After the protest, let us know you went so that we can put our impact in a future newsletter.

We want to get an idea of how many WCU AAUP members, potential members, and community supporters protested, so please, send this form to anyone that you brought with you to the protest to represent WCU AAUP.
