OPT Organizing Mass Organizing Call

Mass organizing call to oppose attacks on Optional Practical Training (OPT)
UAW academic workers and researchers across the country are mobilizing against the Trump administration’s latest attempt to undermine the rights of international workers.

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) is trying to increase fees to $100,000 for international students and scholars using Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT allows F-1 international scholars to continue working in a similar field for up to three years. This discriminatory and xenophobic fee would reduce work opportunities for international scholars to in the US and would negatively affect US higher education and research.

DHS is currently accepting comments until November 9 on the proposed rule – this is our opportunity to express opposition. We’ll be making calls to our colleagues about submitting comments and discussing ways we can take action together as workesr to stop this change.
