This is a message from Harri Paget, your VP for Welfare and Campaigns, about upcoming events this week:

Friday the 20th is International Youth Strike! There will be action on campus attended by some of the officers and organised with UCU (University and College Union) starting from 2pm. Please come along to show your support for the demands to properly fund education and young people; stop ripping off students and graduates; and demilitarise our education.

We also encourage students attending the strike and otherwise to attend the Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil that is taking place on the evening of the 20th at 6:30pm on the Piazza. With the current harmful EHRC guidance and disgusting social media narratives, it is important to come together as a community to recognise both our losses and also how we can protect and uplift each other in the future. Our VP Welfare and Campaigns will be attending and supporting Trans* and Pride soc at their event.

On the 21st of November at 11am there is a counterdemonstration taking place against Britain First, the far-right fascist political group. Student societies and some officers will be taking part in the counter-demo. If you are interested in making your voice heard against the far right in our student communities, contact the education officer: education@warwicksu.com to get involved.
