Emails to use:

Script:

Hello,


I’m writing in support of the RAs at Tufts University who have been bargaining their union contract. Resident Assistants perform vital work: they monitor the dorms, act as first responders for students in health and safety crises, plan and carryout year-long programming, complete nightly rounds, serve as on-call staff, and more. RAs deserve pay and they deserve it now.


President Kumar: pay your RAs. Avoid the strike.


Signed,
