<p>Dear sisters, brothers and siblings of all genders, </p>
<div>I am writing to inform you that the Non-Tenure Faculty
Coalition has announced<strong> </strong>a<strong> 2-day strike
starting </strong><span><strong>tomorrow</strong></span><strong>
</strong>for the days of<strong> </strong><span>Tuesday, April
19th and Wednesday, April 20th</span>. We have all been
preparing for this day and now must work to make sure it is a
success. You are receiving this because you or your organization
has offered your support in our efforts and we are reaching out
to the community now for help. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since our strike authorization vote on April 7th, we are yet
to have any response from the Administration regarding our core
issues. We voted to authorize a strike to secure access to
multi-year contracts, protections for academic freedom, or paths
to promotions and clear evaluations. We must stand together and
continue to fight for higher education in Illinois!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><strong>The best way you can support us is to come walk with
us on the picket lines. </strong></div>
