Students4Change TCD

We are a group of socialist students at Trinity College Dublin, affiliated to Students4Change.

[Students4Change TCD @S4C_TCD]

Trinity does not have any reputation at all without its students— pitting us against each other (during exams) when they are actively pricing us out of our own university is unacceptable. Teach 6, tomorrow, 9:30am for a BoK blockade against raising fees. Come whenever you can.

[Jenny Maguire (SU) @TCDSU_President]

We are demanding a freeze on master's fees! With costs up to €36k, 65% of students workalongside studies & 30% consider dropping out. Education shouldn't be a luxury. 📚✊ Also Trinity is complicit in the genocide in Gaza and are refusing to take a stance on genocide #RipOffTCD

[Students4Change @S4C_group]

Students stand in solidarity with the Postgraduate Workers’ Organisation (@PWO_TCD) at Trinity College Dublin in their decision to strike. We stand behind their core demands for workers’ rights, a living wage, workplace respect, and fair treatment for non-EU and disabled PGRs.

[PWO Ireland @PWO_Ireland]

The government continues to fail to deliver for PhDs, it's time we let them know it can't go on like this, is it time to #strike?

The inaugural meeting of the Students 4 Change TCD branch will be held this Wednesday, October 11th in the Elizabeth Room of Teach 6 at 7pm!
All are welcome :)

[Jenny Maguire (SU) @TCDSU_President]

Direct action and not being afraid to stand up to those in power is what is needed to deliver change. Well done to all those who participated in the @tcdsu @S4C_group @S4C_TCD campaign. This is a victory for students and staff @tcddublin!

[László Molnárfi ☭ @LaciCloud]

Very happy to hand over the executive role of @S4C_TCD to our newly-elected Chair Ella and Vice-Chair Niko, and I am confident that @S4C_group as well as the socialist tendency in the student movement will keep growing!

After a sit-in protest, a social media campaign and a draft proposal, Trinity College Dublin has decided to change the previous policy of the Buttery which only allowed food bought there to be eaten in the canteen https://t.co/JH63j0hYtI

[Beth @BethOReilly]

It's a disgrace that a Senator, who has been sitting since 2014, has been tweeting nothing but far right transphobic talking points since the beginning of August and not a single national media outlet has said fucking anything.

[Jenny Maguire (SU) @TCDSU_President]

We cannot speak of equality while @tcddublin's new maternity leave policy excludes postgraduate researchers, and the gender dimension of precarious work is overlooked. As @ifut noted, Athena Swan has deviated from its stated aims. #PGRsDeserveBetter

Oh @SimonHarrisTD, you say the silliest things!

A growing number of big student housing complexes are adding extra fees on top of the rent. Two of the city’s biggest providers now also have largely identical provisions around charges in contracts.

[Students4Change TCD @S4C_TCD]

Trinity hikes rents by 2% during a cost of living and housing crisis. We call on @tcddublin to explain its decision and we call on students to form grassroot groups, join @CatuIreland and organise politically against the profit-seeking approach being taken to accommodation.
