New York: Another Gaza solidarity camp opens up at CUNY campus

Students at the City College campus of the City University of New York (CUNY) opened up another Gaza solidarity camp, in addition to the Columbia University camp across the city. The students said: 'Organisers at CUNY draw on the legacy of the 1969 CUNY student protest movement, when more than 200 Black and Puerto Rican students de-occupied campus buildings at CCNY… for 17 days.' In a press release, the students also noted that CUNY held at least 13 contracts worth over $8.5m 'with companies that aid in, or profit from, Zionist colonisation, and war crimes.'
