New York State is cutting +$50M to the City University of New York.
Whose education are they cutting?

45.5% of CUNY students work more than 20 hours/week
53.5% of CUNY students have a household income of less than $30,000
37.3% of CUNY students were not born in the US
72.8% of CUNY students self-identify as students of color

NO BUDGET CUTS! NO TUITION HIKE! NO LAYOFFS!
FOR A FREE CUNY AND OPEN ADMISSIONS!

COME OUT & SHOW YOUR SOLIDARITY!
