Save #BrooklynNeedsDownstate ! Rally going on now at Downstate Medical Center 450 Clarkson Ave. 12 noon. Don’t let this crucial institution close!
Thanks to our union family in @UUPInfo, @AFTUnion and beyond, SUNY Downstate is saved!
Our gratitude goes out to our members across New York who raised their voices and fought for Brooklynites and this crucial public teaching hospital. #BrooklynNeedsDownstate
On #InternationalWorkersDay or #MayDay , we celebrate the power of unions and working people across the world. When we stand together, whether to negotiate a new contract or to say #BrooklynNeedsDownstate and ALL campuses should be fairly funded-- we win. #Solidarity
SUNY's plan to close Downstate (and don't let anybody tell you that's not the plan) is an insult to a community that has been neglected, mistreated, underinvested and ignored for too long.
Proud to speak out at today's community rally. #BrooklynNeedsDownstate
Incredibly powerful rally today to stop the planned closure of SUNY Downstate Hospital.
As health disparities in Black, brown, and immigrant communities continue to grow, the solution cannot be to close hospitals that serve those same communities.

“Making sure that we have $100 million in expenses for SUNY Downstate’s operating cost for the next year,” said Cunningham. “As well as $300 million in a lockbox tied to a commission that would study the future of SUNY Downstate.” #BrooklynNeedsDownstate
Joined an inspiring plenary with hundreds of @UUPInfo delegates in Saratoga yesterday. This year marks their 50th anniversary as a union and affiliate of @NYSUT and @AFTUnion #NewDealForHigherEd #BrooklynNeedsDownstate
Another highly successful NYSUT & UUP day of outreach to elected officials with a clear message: #brooklynneedsdownstate , #fixtier6 , & #fundsunynow !
SUNY’s plan for SUNY Downstate will unequivocally result in the closure of Downstate Hospital. If there is no building, there is no hospital! #BrooklynNeedsDownstate
