Click here to join NYC academic workers for the National Day of Action!
Public research and higher education are under attack. Since inauguration day, the new administration has frozen federal funding, eliminated funding for climate research and systemically underrepresented researchers, and defunded university research programs through slicing NIH indirect cost rates. These escalating Executive Orders have thrown us into uncertainty about the future of our careers and public research as a whole. On Wednesday, February 19th, academic workers across NYC and around the country are taking action to defend our work and research in the public interest.
RSVP here to join us on this National Day of Action
February 19, 2025, 4 PM
Washington Square Park
Join fellow researchers from Weill Cornell, Columbia, Mount Sinai, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Rockefeller University, New York University, City University of New York, and more to protest these reckless attacks on public research and education. Coming together across institutions we have the strength to defend our research, our careers, and the public interest.
Solidarity,
