#GOPtaxscam Demonstration

Image
The PSC turned out in force for a Wall Street demonstration against the devastating "tax reform" bill pushed through by the GOP this week.  President Barbara Bowen and Vice President Mike Fabricant joined Rutgers AAUP President David Hughes and twelve others committing civil disobedience and risking arrest.  BC faculty and staff in attendance included Pierani Pieronni (College Now), Chris Ebert (History), James Davis (English), and Tammy Lewis (Sociology).  Retired BC Psychology professor Nancy Romer was arrested with the others engaged in civil disobedience... #fierce! The #GOPtaxscam passed, but the struggle continues and the resistance movement grows.
