Subject: TSSU supports NO vote on CFS referendum

All TSSU Stewards: Please forward the message below to all TSSU members
in your department today (Monday) or tomorrow morning. Thanks so much~

========================================================================

The TSSU urges all students (ALL graduates and undergraduates) to vote NO
on the Canadian Federation of Students referendum on this week’s ballot.
This issue was deliberated at a recent TSSU General Membership meeting,
and we voted to endorse the SFSS effort to ‘defederate’ due to the CFS’s
unaccountability, nepotism and anti-democratic behavior. Please join the
TSSU in voting NO to the CFS at Simon Fraser University. TSSU members are
welcome to forward this email to their friends or students.

Polling Dates, Locations and Times: Tuesday March 18 to Thursday March 20
- Burnaby Main Library lobby: 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM
- SFU Vancouver Campus main lobby: 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM
- SFU Surrey main level: 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM
