Full letter correction *** @ Bit.ly/CUNYLetter
Full letter at Bit.ly/DivestDecarcer…
90+ CUNY and Non-CUNY Student, Faculty and Community Organizations and 12 City and State elected officials signed our letter demanding CUNY divest from prisons and cut ties from Corcraft to support the release of aging people in prison.
❤️❤️❤️
Some of our projects include: Open Letter to Hunter: Do Black Lives Matter at Hunter?, #CUNYDivestFromPrisons Campaign to divest from Corcraft, supporting the Audre Lorde Initiative, #MacauleySoWhite Open Letter, @MADatCU X CAS Survey: Do Cops On Campus Make You Feel Safe? 4/5
As we enter this new year, we wanted to take a moment to briefly reflect on our organizing over the past few months. In a deadly pandemic, the United States maintained the horrific incarceration and systemic murder and oppression of Black and brown people. In rage and anger, 1/5
TONIGHT 7 pm ET: join Columbia YDSA, @rentstrikeUoM, @CUNYRising, @UChiStudentsAct & students from 90+ schools & 8 countries to discuss how we can build student & worker power on our campuses around the world. RSVP: bit.ly/student-strikes #StudentsOfTheWorldUnite

RT≠Endorsement@Columbia it's probably not a great look to the students applying to college right now if every single article is about 3,000+ students supporting the #CUtuitionstrike. Maybe it's time to answer one of the hundreds of emails students have sent & finally meet with your students?
Our tuition strike would not be possible without the organizing done by groups like @ColumbiaSJP, @MADatCU, @jvplive, @ExtinctionR, @sunrisemvmt & @sunrisecolumbia, both locally & nationwide.
Statement from Omar Barghouti, Palestinian human rights defender, cofounder of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, & Columbia alum, on our #CUtuitionstrike pledge:
If you are a student in NYC, fill out this survey on campus policing from @MADatCU and @AbolitionAtCUNY Let’s get these cops off our campus and out of our communities!! #AbolitionNow #FreeThemAll #CopsOffCampus #CUtuitionstrike
With @MADatCU, we have launched a survey for all NYC college students and faculty to share their thoughts on campus police, the NYPD and resources on their campus. Link to form here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

yeow not a good sign when Fox Business is less admin-friendly than @ColumbiaSpec - not to mention @LizzieKarpen's willful misreading of UPMIFA (guidance on US endowment spending), which parrots (false) University talking points
We know that Columbia can both afford to relieve the economic burden on students and improve instructor & worker pay/benefits. The claim that Columbia doesn't have the available funds is misinformation. See this article for more info: thenation.com/article/societ…
And if you want to read less biased coverage, that doesn't just parrot the Admin's talking points, go check out Fox Business! (we’re serious). #CUtuitionstrike foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/colu…
“A student shouldn't have to work two jobs to survive while going to such an expensive university.“ #CUtuitionstrike
“The semester has been really difficult for me. I usually have at least one small breakdown a week. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep going next semester if we’re online. It’s just so isolating.” #CUtuitionstrike
"Our cohort in the Nursing program was denied a final 6 week clinical rotation that was crucial to acquiring specific nursing skills and experience. We weren’t given a refund on tuition, nor any chance to make up the clinical time for which we have paid” #CUtuitionstrike
"As a low income student it is impossible to meet academic expectations while working and studying full time." #CUtuitionstrike
“My tipping point was when I tried to focus on my Zoom Art Hum class, while I could hear my mom crying on the phone with the doctor about my dad’s 107 degree fever from Covid.” #CUtuitionstrike
“I'm a TC student trying to get certification to teach in NYC public schools. I'm entirely dependent on financial aid & loans because my family members are living paycheck-to-paycheck & I don't have time to work in addition to taking classes & student-teaching" #CUtuitionstrike
“As a chronically ill/disabled student, the pandemic has been especially difficult for me. My weakened immune system puts me at a higher risk but because I look healthy, people often do not take my limitations/vulnerability seriously.” #CUtuitionstrike
“Due to Covid having 4 kids it’s real difficult financially my financial plans have changed so much. Its quite frustrating being stuck with over 80k in loans. The usual resources are not available as it is & as such we should not be charged the same amount.” #CUtuitionstrike
"I am trying to find a job to sustain myself. While I am writing, the food I got today from our food pantry at Lerner stares at the academic and financial pressure I am in right now." #CUtuitionstrike
LARGEST TUITION STRIKE EVER. More than 2,500 Columbia students have pledged to withhold tuition until our democratically-supported demands are met. We are so proud to work with the organizers at @MADatCU, @ColumbiaSJP, @GWCUAW, @XR_NYC & @sunrisecolumbia for the #CUtuitionstrike.
@columbiaydsa @MADatCU @ColumbiaSJP @GWCUAW @XR_NYC @sunrisecolumbia Well done guys! @columbiaydsa
