CUNY struggles are national struggles.
As the university likes to celebrate, we are the largest urban public university system in the country. Many students are first-gen, with migrant status, working class, and people of color.
And NYC has been one of the covid19 epicenters.

CUNY workers & students were already overworked & underfunded *before* the pandemic. Then @CUNY proposed massive cuts to fall classes & workers, & enacted a tuition hike & mental health fee. Learn more abt class cuts at @BklynCollege411: tinyurl.com/cutcovidnotcuny #cutcovidnotcuny
NYC is one of the epicenters of police violence & terror to Black folks, including on CUNY campuses and with CUNY support (👀@JohnJayCollege in particular).

CUNY students and workers are struggling to make ends meet, survive state violence, & mourn loved ones lost to this pandemic.
Please don’t let these struggles fall on deaf ears:

Meanwhile, #cuny enrollments are actually increasing....
And as the brilliant @demonicground reminds us, all of these things happening at once is not coincidental...
