The UNC Chapel Hill Graduate and Professional Students Senate has voted 35-6 for a resolution calling on @UNC to divest from “firms that do business with the Israeli Government or the Israeli Military, are headquartered in Israel, or are listed on an Israeli stock exchange”
To end parking fees for all employees under $50k would only cost UNC $1 M, so they would still have a net of $1 M new revenue. These slides show employees earning under $50k contribute 9% of employee parking fees. 9% of $11.613 M is only $1 M. UNC can afford this!
We have launched a petition 2 weeks ago garnering over 400 signatures (not to mention the 2000 that signed a petition to raise pay to $20/hr & end parking fees for workers in Fall of 2022). Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

What is really being exposed here is the incredible number of essential local govt workers that keep our cities running that can’t afford to live here. Way too many make below $25/hr which is minimum amount needed to live here according to another new report from @EconomicPolicy
