Today, in front of an audience of over 1000 people, New York City Student Union members Lucas Johnson, Timothy Ling, and Henry Pines (me) spoke to protest Mass Transit cuts. We shared the stage with such luminaries as Rev. Jesse Jackson and wowed the crowd. We showed people that students are involved and that we care about citywide issues.
The New York City Student Union stood in solidarity with the Transit Workers Union and we made a Huge impact. This is because of all of the hard work that we have put into working with the Keep America Moving Coalition. these opportunities came as a result of going to meeting on friday afternoons and saturday mornings. It was a really special event, but keep your eyes out for us in the coming weeks!
