PSC President James Davis released the following statement: "@governor.ny.gov’s Executive Budget holds the line on tuition, expands access to free community college, & increases @cuny.edu’s operating budget. These welcome investments are essential to making life in NY more affordable...

President James Davis and new PSC Executive Director Milly Silva spoke with The Chief about expectations for Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, the Trump administration's continued crackdown on universities and immigrants, contract enforcement and more. www.thechiefleader.com/stories/the-...?

The PSC congratulates Rita Joseph for her appointment as the new chair of the @council.nyc.gov’s Committee on Higher Education! We are thrilled to have a @cuny.edu champion at the helm of this important committee and look forward to working together in the years to come.

The PSC is thrilled to endorse @ebottcher.bsky.social @dianaforqueens.com & @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social in the upcoming state special elections! We encourage our mbrs in the candidates' districts to support these CUNY champions. Early voting begins this Saturday & election day is Tues., Feb. 3rd.

Let us know you will be there to say NYC stands with Minnesotans, ICE Out for Good. Our communities deserve to live without fear – free from raids, detention, and the expanding reach of surveillance.

Today as we remember and honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., let's continue his fight for justice. In our schools, hospitals, workplaces, and communities, it is up to us to stand against injustice and work towards opportunity for all.

PSC members have been on the picket line in solidarity with @nynurses.bsky.social all week! We’re proud to stand with our union siblings in their fight for workplace protections, healthcare, and safe staffing. Stay tuned for more opportunities to join PSC on the line in the week ahead.

President James Davis delivered a letter this week to @cunychancellor.bsky.social, reminding him of the University's obligation to ensure on-time pay for adjuncts across the system in the lead up to the Spring semester.

We’re encouraged that @governor.ny.gov is making public higher ed a tenet of her affordability agenda by extending a tuition freeze & expanding CUNY Reconnect, the state’s program of free community college tuition for high-demand fields. Read more: psc-cuny.org/news-events/...

PSC members were in Albany today calling on the state legislature to pass the New York for All Act and defend our non-citizen students, neighbors, and colleagues!

We stand in strong solidarity with our union siblings at @nynurses.bsky.social, who are ON STRIKE starting today to demand a fair contract with guaranteed safe staffing, healthcare benefits, and protections from workplace violence.

Hundreds of PSC members marched down Fifth Avenue today alongside labor workers, community members, and elected officials to demand NO WARS! NO KINGS! NO ICE! ✊❤️‍🔥 We demand the US OUT of Latin America, and ICE OUT of our communities!

Patient safety is nurses' #1 concern. It’s irresponsible for hospitals to force nurses on strike and rely on inadequate contingency plans to care for patients. We don't want replacement nurses here, we want a fair contract now!
