Know that you have lost an ally and an original founder. You are not showing solidarity with the Palestinian people. You are showing ethical weakness and moral ineptitude. You have decided to participate in a long history of nefarious confusion related to the Jewish people and Zionism, a confusion that will alienate you from the strongest allies you could hope for in the fight for justice on this matter - including myself.

-SWS is led by a lead organizing team of eight people, who are elected every year. The membership consists of everyone who has attended two or more weekly meetings in a semester. There is also a much larger number of students who may not attend weekly meetings, but come out for protests.

	SSBW joined the Barnard 2110 members in their fight for a fair contract, kicking off the campaign with a teach-in attended by over a hundred students. The campaign continued with meetings with administrators, weeks of awareness raising, and a flyering campaign at Founder’s Day. The administration seemed like they were digging in on this fight, even in the face of unprecedented student-worker coalition-building. Then, on October 19th, a month after the first SSBW planning meeting, 2110 members voted to accept a contract that met every one of their demands. All of the hard work was done at the negotiating table, but workers claimed that student support was crucial in giving moral support and putting pressure on the administration.
