“NYC educators, students, workers, and allies are rallying in defense of higher ed co-organized by the US Association of University Professors and faculty unions from the New School, Columbia/Barnard, and other NYC schools. We are rallying to assert our rights to learn, to teach, to research, to associate, and to protest. We are building a future for higher education free from coercion, censorship, transphobia, racism, and anti-immigrant hate. We say NO to Trump’s illegal abductions of students and faculty for their pro-Palestinian speech; NO to deadly cuts to scientific research; NO to discriminatory anti-DEI policies; NO to the ban on trans people; NO to Trump’s xenophobic immigration crackdown; NO to MAGA attacks on public education. We say YES to a free university, open and accessible to all. We are taking back our schools.”
