Students, faculty, and supporters made an emotional push for funding Sunday by stopping traffic and marching over the Brooklyn Bridge.
The participants called upon the Senate and Assembly to invest in their future. Hundreds upon hundreds demanded on March 6 that City University of New York (CUNY) and Sate University of New York (SUNY) receive critical funding in the state budget.
With the final budget being put into place in three weeks, education advocates are not leaving the future of students up to chance or to those with deep pockets. They are not only making their voices heard loud and clear, but they are also making their numbers seen as well.
