#M5Yesterday’s #M5 action was a massive convergence on the state capitol in Albany, NY. Hundreds of students from SUNY, CUNY, and Albany-area high schools turned out, supported by educators, parents, and concerned community members. 33 people took arrests in a peaceful sit-in outside Governor Cuomo’s office.

The action took place simultaneously with a similar action in Sacramento, CA, as UC and CSU students, faculty, and supporters descended on the California state house. 68 people took arrests in peaceful demonstrations there, making the total number of higher ed arrestees 101.
