Baltimore-area organizations protest Trump administration's policy changes during May Day
Teachers and Researchers United (TRU-UE) Local 197, a PhD workers' union at Johns Hopkins University, joined the rallies on May Day to demand that the university's administration protect international students, workers and research funding.
“The upshot is that we want them to be proactive about protecting our workers’ rights, to protect them from ICE and to protect their research funding,” said Stephen Schmidt, a graduate worker and member of TRU-UE Local 197.
