why we organize

why we organize started in 2019, members of the Harvard Graduate Student Union initiated a zine for and by student workers. They advocated for issues to be voted on, including information on a strike authorization vote, a roadmap to a contract with the power of a strike, and testimony of different students on why they organize. They also imagined their legacy in the lives of future student workers by proposing a narrative entitled, “After we Won: A Message from our Futures Secured by our Contract: A Harvard Student Worker Looks Back to the Year 2040.”

Even if this print issue seems to have been discontinued, the union maintains an active Instagram account.
