angela davis, on how “organizing is not synonymous with mobilizing” (2005) is still incredibly relevant today.

[No More Exclusions #Free 🇵🇸 @NExclusions]

In the build up to Cop26 we’ll be exploring the relationship between education & climate justice https://t.co/FgKmo70Eky

So, how can we relate school exclusion with the climate crisis? According to NME co-founder Zahra Bei, “there are many parallels” (thread 🧵)

Cleaning dept at @unibirmingham is insisting that they have to bring clocking in/out back from Monday. No other staff at the Uni have to do this - it comes from a place of prejudice and there are significant safety risks involved. Here's why 👇/thread

i support the boycott of clubs for “girls night in” but i don’t support the idea of enhancing security. it’s not an effective solution and is gonna cause a lot more harm to people. please try to stop seeing policing as the only way to solve issues of violence, harassment etc

Our second event is a talk and discussion on transphobia by our LGBTQ Officer Fenn, and SU Trans Officer, Abi! This is an extremely important topic, and one we feel very strongly about especially in light of increased transphobic ‘activism’ in Coventry and the surrounding areas:

A favorite Hasidic teachings:
Noah* utterly failed. He failed his mission, and life.

He was supposed to argue with the Divine, and to do more to save the people of his generation.

Creating your own surviving arc is failure 🤦‍♀️

* of Biblical Arc fame - this week's Torah portion

[UoB Intersectional Feminist Campaign @ifabham]

Cont. How can we 'stay safe' when the onus is put on us to protect ourselves, and survivors are given little to no support when they come forward.

Content Warning: Sexual Violence

Teaching students to protect their drinks does not address or alleviate the culture of sexual violence fostered by many universities, including ours.

[Guild of Students @GuildofStudents]

Continuing on with our night out safety tips, this week we're focusing on protecting your drink. It only takes a second for a drink to be compromised, so:

- Only get your drinks from the bar
- Don't leave your drink unattended
- Cover your drink with your hand

Stay safe!

For anybody watching the Wayne Couzens trial: if you're stopped by cops and asked about what you're doing, you have the legal right to refuse to answer and walk away. You can't be searched or arrested just for refusing their questions. https://t.co/R6o3nEUTy2

[UoB Intersectional Feminist Campaign @ifabham]

[UoB Intersectional Feminist Campaign @ifabham]

Join us for our first event of the year, our welcome picnic on Wednesday the 29th at the top of the green heart from 12pm.

[UoB Intersectional Feminist Campaign @ifabham]

📋 This year we are working independently of the Guild, as a campaign group rather than a society, so you will no longer find us on any of the Guild sites or at the official Welcome Fairs. However, we will continue to be active on here and across campus throughout the year!

[UoB Intersectional Feminist Campaign @ifabham]

We're excited to be relaunching this year as the Intersectional Feminist Campaign! 💌 Join our 2021-22 group chat to get involved and keep in touch here https://t.co/JY1zhV41BH and follow us on here, Facebook and Twitter

I am aware of constituents of mine who have family members trapped in Afghanistan, fleeing the Taliban & fearing for their lives.

If you're a constituent of Coventry South & have family members in that situation, please email me ASAP & I will do everything I can to assist you.
