Very happy (and a bit emotional) to share this piece I wrote about the women who fought for Algeria's independence. A reminder of the battles they had to fight for us 🇩🇿.

Brent Council is trash, Pt 5,642

[Save Carlton & Granville @save_cg]

How can £642 per month workspace be considered ‘community space’ and yet Carlton is NOT marked community space?? Instead @RumisCave are recognised as ‘temporary tenants’? This greatly distorts the calculations of community provision. READ:

But let’s work with the little table they did give us. @SKTrustNW6 READ:

@SOAS And the good news: #SOAS students & workers are resisting militarism & marketisation, racism, sexism & class exploitation together, & have been for decades - join us and lets reclaim the university as a site of struggle for collective liberation rather than a corporate factory!

[DecolonisingOurMinds @DoMsociety]

Congratulations everyone on #alevelresultsday - and if you're coming to #SOAS next year, welcome!! First the bad news: @SOAS' brand is different to the reality - read this report before you arrive to find out about the campaigns for justice & liberation! https://t.co/3LskgSCl4s

[DecolonisingOurMinds @DoMsociety]

We agree! That's why we're standing up for a world with human dignity & rights at its heart, starting with @SOAS. We don't believe we can do that by training UK military, protecting far-right politicians or failing to address institutional racism & sexism https://t.co/3LskgSCl4s

Our campaigns are asking @ValerieAmos and @SOAS management questions about the exploitation of workers, institutional racism & sexism, complicity with apartheid & profiting from militarism--and its time for answers & action #soasgrad #crisissoas19 https://t.co/3LskgSCl4s

"Your ability to engage critically, to ask questions no one else will, to build bridges and engage across communities and cultures is very special - do please cherish that" - SOAS Director @ValerieAmos in her closing remarks today at the 2019 graduation celebrations #soasgrad

[DecolonisingOurMinds @DoMsociety]

Taking £400,000 from UK military just emphasises the violence & inequality that SOAS reproduces: protecting racists and sexists, deporting migrant cleaners organising for justice, not implementing #BDS and more - please all read full @CrisisSoas report: https://t.co/3LskgSCl4s

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

Told you so: The UK military pays the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) -- which is notorious for producing fake "leftist" imperialists who support regime change around the world -- for “cultural advice” on how to operate in former colonies

[DecolonisingOurMinds @DoMsociety]

@SOAS We are deconstructing inequality, & its right here @SOAS: deporting workers, protecting fascists, profiting from apartheid & militarism. Read student testimonies of institutional racism & sexism in #crisissoas19 report. Transformation starts here #soasgrad https://t.co/3LskgSCl4s
