Such an amazing show of solidarity! Reps from 20 faculty associations from coast to coast came to join the fight. The Board at @dalhousieu.bsky.social is not just fighting 1000 DFA members - they’re fighting an entire army. #keepdalstrong

Just off a day of flying the @caut.bsky.social flag with @cautdefencefund.bsky.social flying pickets in #solidarity with picketing members of @dalfaculty.bsky.social. Great energy for the fight ahead to #KeepDalStrong.
