CNY Solidarity Coalition supports the current protests against the murders of George Floyd and numerous other African Americans at the hands of police. We will act as allies to those directly involved in this struggle, in accordance with our commitment to non-violent action. The Coordinating Committee’s authority to authorize expenditures will be increased for expenses related to supporting groups in the current struggle.
