| Dear New Caucus Members, The New Caucus Governing Board voted this week to endorse Rosa Squillacote for Vice-President for Part-time Personnel, a position which recently became vacant. We encourage any and all New Caucus members who are PSC Delegates to vote for her at the election to be held during the June 25th Delegate Assembly meeting. Rosa started as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Hunter College in 2012, was active in the 2016 strike authorization vote, has served as a Delegate from the Graduate Center for the past three years, and has been active in both the Committee for Adjuncts and Part-timers and the Legislative Committee. Rosa is also active on the broader New York Left, and recently helped to launch the 8:01 pm protest of the draconian curfew imposed by New York executives on the residents of New York City. We, members of the Governing board, felt lucky to consider two strong candidates in addition to Rosa: Lynne Turner and Pam Stemberg. We are fortunate as a caucus to have three hard-working activists who were ready and willing to step into this role. A note on process: to our knowledge, the Caucus has not typically intervened in special elections like this one. We felt that it was important to engage as formally as possible in the short time in front of us. However, with better planning in the future, we discussed having a full membership meeting, where the candidates have the opportunity to present themselves and where the full body ultimately makes the endorsement. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! Solidarity & power, Luke Elliott-Negri, on behalf of the NC GB New Caucus Governing Board Barbara Bowen James Davis Luke Elliott-Negri Anne Friedman Amy Jeu Geoff Kurtz Gerry Martini Eileen Moran Carly Smith Pam Stemberg Sharon Utakis |
