A new semester is beginning at the City University of New York (CUNY) with the fight against repression and for Palestine at the center. While we are facing intense crackdowns, including the firing of four faculty members over their pro-Palestine activism and the suspension of at least one student, there is also a movement fighting back. Amid these attacks, we’ve also had victories — most recently, a court decision forcing CUNY to disclose its investments in Israel. 

As Israel escalates its genocidal campaign in Gaza, including a famine, with full support from the U.S. government, CUNY has targeted faculty who speak out against it. This comes as President Trump intensifies his attacks on immigrants, mobilizes the National Guard in major cities, and escalates a broader assault on democratic rights.
