Fourth Internationalist Tendency Flyer: Support the Student Takeovers

This newsletter produced by the Fourth Internationalist Tendency (FIT, a Trotskyist group) supported the CUNY student takeovers. It stated that Governor Cuomo, CUNY Chancellor Anne Reynolds, and Mayor Dinkins's proposal to cut CUNY's budget by $96 million would force the closing of campuses, slashes in the tuition assistance budget, and thousands of class cuts. The article continued to draw connections between CUNY students and city workers, stating that they had a "common interest in beating back this effort to balance the budget on the backs of working people."

The back of the flyer provided an introduction to the Fourth Internationalist Tendency (FIT) that claimed to be a socialist group dedicated to a society democratically organized to fulfill people's basic needs.
