*Labor for Palestine: Solidarity Rally for the UCR Encampment for Palestine
on Tues 5/7 at Noon*
UAW 4811, the union for academic workers in the UC system, is calling for
all union members, workers, and supporters of the Students for Justice in
Palestine Encampment demands to join us on *Tuesday, May 7th at noon* at
the Bell Tower on Campus at UCR.

We're calling the rally in support of the demands of the students that have
built the encampment demanding that the UC system stop its support for the
killing of thousands of innocents in Gaza, and to tell the UC to stop
repressing workers' right to free peaceful protest here on campus.

PLEASE RSVP & SPREAD THE WORD:
