Town Hall: What's Changing for Student Loan Borrowers and How We Fight Back Open to Everyone: Town Hall on Student Debt On July 1, some of the harshest changes to the federal student loan system in decades take effect.

Yesterday, Thursday, June 11, PSC members joined students and advocates from the CUNY Rising Alliance for a CUNY at the Council day of action!

We talked with Councilmembers on their way into the bimonthly Stated meeting, sharing our platform for a fully-funded City University of New York system and asked that they prioritize our members’ and students’ needs in the ongoing city budget negotiations. We will continue organizing with our partners for robust CUNY funding in the city budget, toward our goal of winning a CUNY for all.

PSC is proud to announce the following Senate & Assembly endorsements in New York City for the 2026 election cycle. These candidates are committed to supporting and fully funding the The City University of New York and fighting to ensure that every New Yorker has access to a high-quality college education.

On Friday, we welcomed candidates in competitive congressional primary races across New York City to the PSC union hall for a Higher Education Labor Town Hall, co-hosted by Higher Ed Labor United - HELU and Rutgers AAUP-AFT.

Candidates pledged to be Higher Education Labor Champions and answered questions from PSC members about free college, academic freedom, job security, and labor rights for higher ed workers!

“As one of the CUNY Fired Four, it is an incredible honor to see our collective struggle, led by the PSC-CUNY, student organizers, and the broader CUNY community, inspire the Academic Freedom Protection Act. This bill is essential to ensure that no other educator loses their job for exercising their conscience, whether in solidarity with Palestinian liberation or the liberation struggles of other oppressed peoples, speaking out against racist police violence and fascist ICE attacks on our immigrant communities, defending LGBTQIA+ rights, or organizing for union rights. Academic freedom is not a privilege; it is a right, and I urge all of my union siblings to fight for its passage.”

“The message from our movement must be very clear; pension funds, university endowments, everyday investors must not invest in billionaire-owned corporations that drive inequality, economic instability, and attacks on working people.”

“We’re not paying for their trillions, not with our pensions, not on our watch!”

-PSC President James Davis
