[UoM Rent Strike 2023 @rentstrikeUoM]

One year ago today, since @OfficialUoM decided to put a massive fence around its students. It didn’t last very long...

[UoM Rent Strike 2023 @rentstrikeUoM]

Rent strikes across the country last year helped students win £140 million (!) across 64 unis.

Don’t let anyone tell you students can’t win. Don’t let anyone tell you protest achieves nothing
We proved its possible to take on big uni bosses and win big.

don't like govt and uni managements treatment of students and workers?
come to CDE's first meeting of term at 6pm this sunday and plot ways to support strikes, fight marketisation and build solidarity✨

[simon🚩🇵🇸 @simontimmins3]

students won’t buy the divide and conquer tactics of govt and uni bosses. the experiences of the pandemic have made clear how little universities act in the interest of students or workers- 100% support to @ucu members to vote yes in the upcoming strike ballot💥💥

[J 🇵🇸 @hetheylianmarx]

Students’ learning conditions are staff’s working conditions but uni management don’t give a damn about either because with HE marketisation their business model is built on the exploitation of staff and students alike. That’s why students should support @CambridgeUCU to strike.

[Cambridge Defend Education @CamDefendEd]

💥Cambridge Defend Education calls on UCU members to vote YES to strike action in the upcoming ballot!
find out why we, as students, support the strike (thread):

[ACORN Cambridge @Cambridge_ACORN]

The support we got from passersby and drivers was immense: Cambridge is a city that knows that Section 21 evictions are a leading cause of family homelessness and that they don't have to happen 🚫🚫🚫

Watch this space for the next eviction resistance training, and join ACORN 😉

[ACORN Cambridge @Cambridge_ACORN]

🚫💥WE MARCH TO END ALL EVICTIONS💥🚫

On Tuesday, we asked all Cambridge letting agents to pledge to stop evictions past the end of the moratorium.

Today, we marched on two of them. They refused to pledge, and we made our message clear: we won't allow evictions in Cambridge.

[Cambridge UCU @CambridgeUCU]

If you're a grad student at @Cambridge_Uni, register and come to the open meeting on 24.06. to fight back against the effects of marketisation on UK higher education, casualised labour as undergraduate supervisors, and more! Non-members welcome! #Justice4CollegeSupervisors

@clarecollege we will not be intimidated by your threats. We will continue to demand justice for students and workers 🚩No one should be forced to pay £180 a week for a room with mouldy walls, or have their wages cut during a pandemic.
