Various student organizations at the City College of New York rallied in front of the Wille Administration Building Wednesday, advocating for more student services on campus.
The protest was called by the City College Gender Resource Center Campaign, the Campaign to Save Childcare at City College, the Campaign to Save the Morales Shakur Center, Students for Educational Rights, Young Democratic Socialists at City College, Student Mental Health Initiative, the Roosevelt Institute at City College and the LGBT+ Open Alliance.
Held in conjunction and solidarity with the mass worker strikes and mobilizations of the Fight for $15 movement, the students also advocated for the City College Child Development Center to remain on campus, as it is set to close for renovations with no answers being provided in terms of the future of the child care center, its pricing and the funding that is being refused by administration.
