'This is just the beginning': Columbia and CUNY students vow to keep 'fighting'
During a press conference on Wednesday evening, student protestors from Columbia University and City University of New York responded to the intervention of the NYPD to dismantle encampments and suspend and arrest hundreds of protesters across both universities last night and today.
"We will not stop fighting. This is just the beginning," Cameron Jones of Columbia’s Justice for Palestine chapter said.

Corinna Mullin, a member of CUNY faculty, joined the press conference and called the students "brave" and said that the administration actions against its own students was "shameful."
The students from Columbia and CUNY vowed to continue their efforts, saying, "The more they will try to silence us, the louder we will be."
