BK Reader – The Brooklyn College members present at the rally were joined by numerous local elected officials, including Brooklyn Council Member Shahana Hanif. As a former student, Hanif acknowledged the importance of the Women’s Center, and says that the cuts would be disastrous for students that utilize its services.

“When I was a student at Brooklyn College, the Women’s Center was my home. Without the support and guidance offered by this urgent community space, I would not be the person I am today,” said Hanif. 

“We know that the proposed cuts to the Women’s Center would be devastating to the critical programming it offers, yet Brooklyn College’s administration continues to gaslight the student body about these funding impacts. I’m proud to stand in solidarity with the faculty, staff, and students to demand we preserve and expand the Women’s Center for years to come.” [Read More]
