Dear Members:
In the face of funding challenges for universities across B.C., collective advocacy is key to encouraging our government to support institutions like UFV. You can take action by asking your MLA to work for increased post-secondary funding. Write your own letter or send out the template linked here.
For those of you who couldn’t attend BC Federation of Labour President Sussanne Skidmore’s talk on the Abbotsford campus last Thursday, and for anyone who would like to watch it again, the recording of the Solidarity in Tough Times talk is now published on the FSA YouTube! You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/W0adaydln8I?si=uxhYCZ1sOlb6EEBF.
Members can show their solidarity by putting up a poster or wearing a “Stronger Together” button, available from the FSA member lounge B344.
We’d like to know what you think: do you want another speaker? Do you have ideas for a town hall meeting? Let us know what you need and how we can support you.
In solidarity,
Lisa Morry
VP Engagement
