Autonomous Students (AS) is an anti-capitalist organization of university students and workers based in movements that emerge in and around campus. Our role is to participate in these movements, learn from their actions, and build a space for collective antagonism against those who exploit and oppress us.
———————
Our organization, Autonomous Students, came into being to support labor unions of campus employees, including AFSCME 3299 and UAW 2865, during a turbulent year of contract negotiations. Our coalitions were powerful because they brought student organizing models together with the mass base and institutional knowledge of organized labor, and helped form a strategy that won workers better contracts. We are one organization that has participated in the broader opposition to austerity and university privatization, and we maintain a strong commitment to the mass movements that emerge on our campus. Our role is to participate in these movements, learn from their actions, and build a space for collective antagonism against those who exploit us.
