I am a rising fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering, and I have been organizing across campus since our membership card drop. Since my very first phone bank, I have worked towards building a union that can go toe-to-toe with Cornell. During our contract negotiation, I led our Contract Action Team and co-facilitated our weekly meetings. Last semester, I helped establish a unified, credible strike threat, with over 1000 graduate workers pledging to strike within the first days of the pledge launch. Additionally, I worked to foster a more communicative and bottom-up organizer structure that brought new, excited, and capable people into our contract fight. Now that we have won our contract, I serve as an interim steward and lead the post-contract-ratification membership drive. I am ready to keep fighting and mobilizing our membership so that we can build our worker power, enforce the rights and benefits we won in our contract, and defend ourselves against a federal administration that threatens our well-being, our research, and our livelihood. I am running for Vice President for Membership with the Fight Together 4 CGSU slate because I want to build a member-run union ready to exercise power through solidarity – one eager to win big fights.
