Investing in CUNY brings blessings ten-fold to our city.

Our state and city are at a critical juncture. They can either allow an invaluable educational institution to decline—OR, build on our investment in Higher Ed and in our students.

We know #CUNYforAll is the right choice.

Every year, we have to fight for the basic opportunities of CUNY students to have a quality, affordable education, and for educators and staff to be compensated fairly.

It's time for something different.

Thank you to everyone fighting for a #CUNYforAll.

"I know firsthand that @cuny.edu is one of the greatest engines of opportunity our city has ever built. Today, I stand with students, faculty, and advocates to demand that we fully invest in that promise." - NYC Councilmember Rita Joseph #CUNYforAll
