A graduate student hardship fund has been launched! https://opencollective.com/gsocnyu

NYU produces some of the highest student debt in the country. This disproportionately impacts BIPOC and international students, particularly those from the Global South. International students have fewer options of financial aid and loans and face more severe consequences when they are unable to repay debt, which can jeopardize their immigration status in the US.

This fund is a redistributive mutual aid effort to stand in solidarity with student workers disproportionately impacted by economic hardship.

As students impacted by debt must typically make monthly repayments, recurring donations (even of a small amount) are most helpful.

Join us next Thursday at 6pm in Washington square park for a rally for NYU’s adjunct union as they kick off their bargaining with NYU! Our adjuncts deserve a fair contract! https://t.co/wXjSCLWalH
