December 1 CUNY Student Walkout for Sanctuary Campuses

CUNY Student Walkout for Sanctuary Campuses

Trump has promised to deport millions of people and to end protections and assistance for undocumented students.

HE SAYS GO BACK, WE SAY FIGHT BACK!

On Thursday, December 1, CUNY students walk out and rally at CUNY Central and Trump Tower to demand Chancellor James Milliken and the presidents of the twenty-four colleges commit to the following:
1. Ban ICE and other immigration enforcement officials from all CUNY campuses
2. Refuse to share information with immigration without individuals’ consent
3. Forbid CUNY cops and security officers from collaborating with immigration officers
4. Publicly call on state and federal governments to protect students, faculty, staff, and families from deportation and to provide them a path to citizenship
