About The Event
May Day Walkout for Livable Grad & Postdoc Stipends!
Federal stipends for grad students haven't increased since 2005! Inflation has totalled 45% since then! If the funding had kept up with inflation, standard master's stipends would be $24 000 today instead of what they actually are: still $17 500.
Join your fellow grad students and postdocs in walking out to tell the government that we have had enough. We deserve livable stipends!
Faculty, undergrads, and friends welcome! Hosted by AGSEM in coordination with Support Our Science.
