With my graduation union @WeAreGAGE, I am advocating for a union contract that makes graduate work at @Georgetown become inclusive and accessible. Because right now it's not. THREAD.

To do #PhD science research at @Georgetown in DC, I've learned that being qualified, passionate, dedicated isn't enough.
I also need a partner who has income and who has vision/dental insurance to add me onto. Splitting 1bd apt w him is still ~50% of my monthly pay. #WeAreGAGE

Our grad union contract @WeAreGAGE will be a huge step towards lowering financial barriers to doing #PhD work @Georgetown because it will raise stipends and lower healthcare costs.

Financial issues aren't the only way our contract will help... @Georgetown has an awful gender harassment problem! @WeAreGAGE contract sets up a new system to report, because Title IX fails. #FairContractNow #WeAreGAGE #WomenInScience https://georgetownvoice.com/2019/12/05/harassment-reporting-structures-are-broken-gage-provides-a-solution/
There are a myriad of other policies (paid leave! child care!) our @WeAreGAGE grad union contract will change so @Georgetown is *structurally* inclusive for graduate workers, not just paying lip service to inclusivity.. End thread. #FairContractNow #WeAreGAGE #WomenInScience
