Upcoming Events and actions

On Friday, March 14, 2025 at 5 PM, the CUNY Rising Alliance and it's allies are hosting a Mayoral Candidate Forum. Join us in-person as we meet the NYC Mayoral candidates, learn about their plans for uplifting CUNY, and ask them about how they plan to defend CUNY during this uncertain time.

On Wednesday, February 26, 2025 we’re heading to Albany for Higher Education Action Day, where students from across New York will rally for the New Deal for CUNY/SUNY! This is our chance to demand fully funded, tuition-free public education, better resources, and fair wages for faculty & staff—because education is a right, not a privilege! SIGN UP HERE to reserve a bus seat! The deadline to RSVP is February 20.

On Friday, February 21, 2025 from 1-4PM, CRA is co-sponsoring a special training on how to be a successful organizer. This will take place at City College. Pizza and snacks will be served. The deadline to RSVP is February 19. RSVP Here: https://tinyurl.com/trainingFeb21

On Wednesday, February 19, 2025 at 11 AM, The Peoples Plan NYC is organizing the FY26 People’s Budget Launch! At the People’s Budget Launch, we will lay out our vision for a people's budget—one that prioritizes education, mental health services, housing-first policies, and immigrant protections. We will fight for affordable futures for families (fully funded education: 3-K to CUNY) and real public safety for all New Yorkers (mental health, housing first, immigrant protections), and reject the cuts and handcuffs backed by Mayor Adams.
