Recently, Mayor Bloomberg has inflicted massive budget cuts on New York City public schools. On Wednesday, March 19, over 10,000 people rallied together in order to demand that the money be returned into the the pockets of public schools. A surprising number of those people were New York City public school students. This amazing outcome could have never been accomplished without the efforts of the New York City Student Union. NYCSU made many efforts to increase student involvement in education. One of the greatest accomplishments was the very successful facebook group that boasts a more than 500 members. The protest was an amazing example of the power behind activism having 8 blocks of concerned individuals in the freezing rain making sure their voices were heard.
