Duke, we are here as one voice. Workers in Durham and educators in South Central LA share struggles: fighting for dignity, fair pay, & a better future. It’s time for Duke to invest in the people. Join us & take action: bit.ly/durhamrising Jazmin Vargas, @seiulocal99 member

Duke would be nothing without the labor of working-class people. $25 is the minimum that a world-renowned institution like Duke should be paying its workers while taking in millions in profit from our labor. Sign our petition at bit.ly/durhamrising

Why should we work for Durham’s biggest employer but not afford to live here? Our property taxes doubled since 2008, but our pay at Duke hasn’t budged. We deserve to live in Durham and THRIVE. Sign the petition: bit.ly/durhamrising Ms. Penny, @raiseupthesouth member

While Duke paints itself as a victim of Trump's attacks, six billionaires sit on their Board of Trustees who benefit from his tax breaks. All of this as the community of Durham struggles. Durham is rising, so join the movement. And sign our petition at bit.ly/durhamrising

Let’s be real: Duke isn’t a struggling nonprofit. It’s a wealthy health system that keeps buying up Durham and paying no taxes. Meanwhile, our public schools are being starved of funding. Sign the petition: bit.ly/durhamrising Brandon Young, @durhamforall leader #DurhamRising

Duke says $18/hour is enough. We say give us the $25/hr we deserve. We’ve built Duke with our labor and made it what it is. Now we’re demanding respect, and real union rights. It’s our labor. It’s our voice. Sign the petition: bit.ly/durhamrising Mama Cookie @RaiseUptheSouth

Ms. Penny has worked at Duke since 1989. She loves her community but says those at the top aren’t treating workers fairly. Before she retires, she’s fighting to make Duke better for all workers & for the next gen. Sign the petition: bit.ly/durhamrising #OrganizetheSouth

"New Coalition Called @durhamrising Holds Town Hall, Makes Broad Demands of Duke University" By Durham Dispatch 🐂 durhamdispatch.com/post/new-coali…

Durham is putting Duke on notice: stop cutting jobs and start investing in the people who make this city run. With an $11.8B endowment, Duke has the money—it just lacks the will. Thanks to @ABC11_WTVD for covering our town hall. #DurhamRising #OrganizeTheSouth
