Palestine Resists. Palestine Will Triumph

CUNY students, in collaboration with several activist groups, are organizing a protest to voice opposition to perceived repression by campus administrators and law enforcement. The demonstration also stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle. Organized by @aisf.cuny and supported by groups like @cuapartheiddivest, @cuny4palestine, @nycresistswithgaza, @baruch.psc, and @psa.huntercollege, this event calls on students, workers, and allies from across the city to join and make their voices heard.

Organizations’ History
The Anti-Imperialist Student Front (AISF) and its allied groups, including CUNY4Palestine and NYC Resists with Gaza, have faced criticism for their controversial rhetoric and actions. These groups have been accused of promoting divisive narratives and aligning with extremist ideologies that many argue cross the line into hate speech, including accusations of antisemitism. Their events often feature inflammatory language and have been linked to disruption on campuses, fostering environments of intimidation rather than constructive dialogue. Critics have also highlighted the groups’ tacit support for entities and movements widely recognized as promoting violence, raising serious concerns about their impact on campus safety and community cohesion.

Safety Advisory
Given the nature of the protest and past events of a similar tone, attendees and community members are advised to remain informed and take necessary precautions:

• Avoid the Area: Baruch Plaza and surrounding streets may experience disruptions due to the gathering. Plan alternate routes if commuting nearby.
• Anticipate Large Crowds: Heavy turnout is expected, along with a noticeable police presence to manage the event.
• Be Cautious: Steer clear of interactions with protesters or counter-protesters to avoid potential conflict.
• Stay Updated: Follow local news outlets and campus safety channels for live updates during the event.
