Solidariedade internacional para com o movimento grevista

Carta de Solidariedade com o Movimento Grevista das Universidades Federais Brasileiras – 
União de Estudantes Universitários da Califórnia

"Letter of Solidarity With The Striking Teachers of Brazil's Federal Universities

On Thursday, May 17th, teachers at 34 Federal Universities across Brazil went out on strike in defense of the right to high quality public education.

Today in California, students from across all the levels of public higher education are meeting to discuss the formation of a Student Union to give organizational form to our unity in the struggle against the defunding, privatization and re-segregation of our public educational systems.

We would like to take this occasion to extend our full solidarity with you, the teachers of Brazil, and to tell you that you are not alone in this fight. The attacks on education are being enacted on an international scale. And even here, in one of the countries with the most advanced neo-liberal project for education, we students are organizing resistance.

Here in the United States, educators' unions are under constant attack. But as students we see clearly the value of workers' organizations because our professors' working

conditions are our learning conditions. And your struggle is also our own!
