In some very sad news, Cuomo is considering removing funding for the Dream Act, legislation that would provide educational financial aid for immigrants that have been in the US since childhood but don’t have documentation, from the NYS budget for this year. CUNY Dreamers, a CUNY organization that has been fighting for legislation in favor of the Dream Act is actually organizing a hunger strike to try to get Cuomo to return funding. I’m sad to hear that the funding is being reallocated elsewhere.
