Join GEO!
It is a busy spring for GEO as we deal with COVID safety concerns and prepare to enter full contract bargaining. We are powerful, but only as powerful as our membership! If you’re not a member, join today, and if you are a member, tell your friends to join! We have a future to win and a new university to build.
[Image description: a sweet valentine theme’d GEO poster advertising the benefits of joining GEO. A variety of light yellow backgrounds have the text “have you heard of GEO? Graduate employee organization is the labor union that represents and protects TAs and GAs. Any graduate student can be a member! Already a member? Talk to your colleagues about GEO!” superimposed. In the bottom corner is a QR code to join. The top of the flyer is bordered by valentine candy hearts with various GEO initiatives and values like “fair wages,” “people first,” “worker safety”, “defund UIPD”, “organize”, “healthcare”, and “join GEO!”]
