The People's Organizing Collective:
USAS Local 3 @ Cornell University
POC:USAS#3 & FGSU are natural partners in our organizing work against predatory financial aid practices that burden low-income and first-generation students the most. At the beginning of our student contribution initiative in Fall 2018, we entered into a formal campaign partnership with FGSU.
POC:USAS#3 is a proud ally of Cornell Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) & a robust supporter of its renewed BDS push. Our group intends to bring visibility to the plight of Palestinian workers under the Israeli occupation, co-sponsoring teach-ins with Cornell SJP to that end.
POC:USAS#3 shares Cornell YDS's vision for progressive policy changes. Both of our groups have endorsed the Campaign for NY Health, and are co-spearheading student organizing to achieve a statewide single-payer healthcare system.
