@ourtimefornyc.bsky.social and @psc-cuny.org leading “Tax the Rich” chants at the Capitol.

Real community safety looks like investing in housing, healthcare, education, and jobs. We can pay for all this and more by taxing the ultra wealthy and corporations. #TaxTheRich

Inside the state capital, converging with partners to flyer and lobby elected officials and show them how STRONG and COMMITTED our movement is!

TAX THE RICH, NOT THE POOR ✊

We marched to the Capitol to show state leaders the power and scale of our movement! Over a hundred PSC members and thousands of fellow New Yorkers have made our way to Albany - in the aftermath of a blizzard - to ensure our demands to TAX THE RICH can’t be ignored!

The energy in Albany today was electric! 100+ PSC members rallying to TAX THE RICH with labor and community siblings from across the state. 🔥❤️✊

While PSC members rally in the Armory, we're also out with hundreds of students in the Capitol itself calling for increased funding for CUNY, broader access to free tuition, more financial aid, and higher taxes on corporations and the rich.

We're in Albany with Our Time, fellow unions, and community organizations for today's Tax the Rich rally! Together, we are going to win progressive taxation and the affordable NYC we deserve.

PSC members are en route to Albany for today's Tax the Rich takeover and Higher Education Action Day! We're joining thousands of fellow New Yorkers to call for fair tax policy and the affordability agenda we need, including a fully funded CUNY system.

FATHER SHANLEY: HANDS OFF ST. JOHN’S FACULTY UNIONS! We are shocked by President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P.’s recent attack on the two faculty labor unions at St. John’s University. On Thursday, February 19, 2026, Father Shanley informed faculty via em...

Rather than pay to retain a high priced, union busting law firm, the administration should return to the bargaining table to negotiate in good faith with the union, whose members have been working 236 days without a contract. #Solidarity (3/3)

St. John's University says it no longer recognizes faculty unions after 56 years St. John's University in Queens, New York, notified employees on Feb. 19 that it will no longer recognize the two unions that have represented faculty members at the Catholic university since 1970.

President Brian Shanley may not unilaterally refuse to recognize the 56-year strong union when he deems it inconvenient. (2/3)
