Awesome.

All right, we're going.

All right, so I'm Tony Boswell, and this is a special episode of Minion Death Colt.

I'm doing a little bit of an interview with a couple comrades.

Annie and Tony, both UCSC students, grad students who are really part of the struggle and really out here organizing and trying to make a difference and actually doing the work.

So I kind of want to get them out here to talk and kind of catch stuff going on.

As some of you know, the UC system is really not supporting their grad students,

especially their working grad students, basically using this as a form of free labor

and taking advantage of the whole system.

And, you know, although they're grad students, y'all need to eat.

So I'm going to, you know, this is kind of just a format.

Like, I just want to want people to hear about this because I'm finding that all that people

know what's going on.

And myself included, I'm a little bit

in the dark. I just kind of see your post and see what's going on through the lens,

and that's kind of more important than anything I think I'm going to read on any type of like,

I'm actually not seeing a lot of coverage of it, which is really upsetting.

So go ahead and introduce yourselves and we'll jump right in.

Hey, I'm Tony. I'm a grad student at UCSC. I'm a PhD candidate in literature.

I'm Annie. I am actually an undergraduate in the Critical and Race and ethnic studies program at UCSC.

We've had Annie on before. Annie is a friend of ours and we love her so much. And so I'm so happy that

Annie you can join us and bring Tony along. So yeah, so from what I've been seeing, there was a general, there was a grading strike, correct?
