Today employees of the #UniversityofAmsterdam #UvA are on #strike to protest against the budget cuts for education that are pushed by our far right government.
Universities are a place of wonder, curiosity and resistance.
This world is in desperate need of all of these things.
Update: there were 5000 of us today. And a student and I even made it to the main newspaper pic. 💅

Wow 5 whole people. And you all make fun of the US for only having a few hundred or thousand at a time?
@metaldream @Heyting In the end more than 5000 people gathered on the city’s main square.

That’s amazing, great job
I don’t know if you’re joking but this was posted before the strike started and it looks like it’s a picture of some teachers picketing or preparing for the march. Information on turnout will probably come out at the end of the day, but my estimation is that it’ll be a few thousand.
