MORE PUBLIC PROGRAMMING as the CUNY Hunger Strike for Gaza Continues
Come down to the CUNY Graduate Center (365 Fifth Avenue) and sit in solidarity with hunger strikers across four (4) CUNY campuses who are on their seventh day without food to escalate the urgent demand that CUNY DIVEST NOW, and to raise funds for over a dozen families in Gaza who are enduring unfathomable food scarcity and loss of life as the US-israeli genocide wages on.
Strikers are on site at the Graduate Center every day from 12-6pm. Join them for 15 minutes or a few hours, and keep applying pressure to the CUNY administration by contacting Chancellor Félix Matos Rodrìguez at felo@cuny.edu (link in bio) or 646-664-9100.
