On April 26, 2024, the Professional Staff Congress at City University of New York voted narrowly to divest from Israeli companies and government bonds. This decision arrives amid ongoing violence in Gaza and showcases the mounting student activism around Palestine. The vote illustrates a growing union movement toward Palestinian solidarity, with calls for broader investment reconsiderations and actions against violence. Despite initial hesitance from union leadership, rank-and-file efforts have pushed for meaningful changes, representing a significant milestone in labor's stance on international human rights issues.
The recent vote at CUNY, which passed by a narrow margin, marks a significant turning point in the movement for solidarity with Palestine and worker unity.
Palestinians in Gaza are enduring ongoing violence, and the CUNY resolution reflects a broader fight for human rights amidst international marches supporting Palestine.
