Albany Demonstration: “Save CUNY, Stop the Budget Cuts.”
A series of photographs taken in 1991 at a rally in Albany, NY, ranged from Hunter College students from the School of Social Work and Bronx Community College students to a baby with a Tax the Rich sign. Union members, workers, and students descended the capital, united in solidarity against the proposed austerity measures. In one image, City University of New York (CUNY) students scaled the NY state capital building to hang a banner that stated, “Save CUNY, Stop the Budget Cuts.”
On March 19th, 20,000 people descended on Albany to protest statewide austerity measures in New York. NYC municipal workers, CUNY and SUNY students, and workers from hospitals took part.
