Decolonise Sussex

A student led campaign tackling the BAME awarding gap, the hostile environments towards students of colour at Sussex, coloniality and institutional racism.

[The Brighton Eid Project @DoTheyKnoitsEid]

This is going to be my 3rd straight Eid without family, such is corporate life. But it got me thinking, how many people don't have a choice? Some people literally have nothing, especially in Brighton. So how can we make a difference?

[UCU @ucu]

Students and staff are being failed by the same higher education system.

See you on the picket lines 🪧

[Prof Folúkẹ́ Adébísí @folukeifejola]

Are we decolonising our teaching or teaching decolonisation?

[Nehaal @nehaalbajwa]

Absolutely incredible meeting (in hybrid) with @DecoloniseS today on decolonising the curriculum, what it is, what it should be, and how to make sure students and staff working for liberation are at the forefront of "co-producing" and decolonising efforts

[Decolonise QMUL @DecoloniseQMUL]

We don't need a repeat of
@KingsCollegeLon racist surveillance and prevent support by sharing students' info with the cops. Our institutions aid state violence, esp against the most marginalised student organisers. We need an intervention

Catch up with the launch through the livestream on the Sussex SU facebook page!

[University of Sussex Students' Union @USSU]

[University of Sussex Students' Union @USSU]

In light of recent events on campus and social media, we want to offer support & resources to trans and non-binary students. We oppose transphobia and want our University to be a place where all trans people receive support and solidarity.#sussexsu #ussu

[🏕Sussex Renters’ Union @SussexRU]

We stand with our Trans community - forever and always.

When Trans and non-binary students make clear they’re feeling unsafe on campus, it falls to the university to keep them safe.

Your struggle is ours. We’re with you. 🏳️‍⚧️

🚨OPEN ASSEMBLY WEDNESDAY 6PM🚨

We need everybody who is striking to come to this meeting. We can win a better offer from the uni if we keep striking. At the meeting, we will discuss why we think we can win more, what this means for strikers, and decide what we need to do next.

[Decolonise Sussex @DecoloniseS]

While the SU has committed to BDS, we need to ensure that lobbying the university executive board directly has enough push as well��

[UnisResistBorders #WearAMask #BordersKillKnowledge @UnisNotBorders]

Just as UK's borders are a colonial construction, Israel is a settler-colonial country responsible for the continued ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

@UnisNotBorders stands in solidarity w/ Palestinians in Gaza, occupied Jerusalem & West Bank, & in the diaspora. 🇵🇸 (1)

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

I answered this question as Israeli occupation forces, funded by the US, fired stunt grenades in my yard.

[Decolonise Sussex @DecoloniseS]

Settler colonialism - form of colonialism that seeks to replace the original population of the colonized territory with a new society of settlers

[Arianne Shahvisi 🇵🇸 @ArianneShahvisi]

I hope the folks who've been cashing in on the word "decolonising" in the title of every article and event over the last year have their eyes on East Jerusalem right now. Israeli forces are throwing Palestinians out of their homes and beating the protestors who try to stop it.
