PBHA's Student Labor Action Movement

Politics & PolicyAdvocacy & Justice

Undergraduate group organizing with campus workers and their unions to advocate for labor justice on campus, locally, and beyond.

About

PBHA’s Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM) organizes with workers and their unions to advocate for labor justice on Harvard's campus, in the Cambridge and Boston areas, and in the broader world. SLAM maintains dedicated and mutual relationships with members of campus unions to learn about their working conditions and to strategize collective campaigns to achieve workers' demands of our university. We are committed to leveraging our voices as undergraduate students to educate one another, to raise the political consciousness of our campus, and to advocate for the many other social justice issues that intersect with labor.
