Thank you to everyone who attended our summer social/International Labour Day picnic and our AGM, both of which took place in early May.
The branch is continuing to advocate and struggle in solidarity with our trans members, students, and colleagues who continue to suffer the fallout of the Supreme Court ruling announced in April this year. At our AGM, the motion “supporting trans rights in the context of the Supreme Court ruling” was unanimously passed, and we also succeeded in lobbying the University to revert a damaging update which was briefly published to its Trans Inclusion Code of Conduct. We are grateful for the ongoing efforts of all our members in support of this struggle. If you want to get involved, please e-mail chair@warwickucu.org.uk to find out about our working group.
Students and branch members are also continuing to advocate for freedom and justice for Palestine in the wake of the latest horrific news coming out of the region. Please keep an eye out here and in your member e-mails for events and opportunities to get involved and to pressure the University to do everything it can to achieve dignity, safety, and justice for the Palestinian people in their homeland.
Finally, as summer approaches, our branch is standing in solidarity with colleagues at many others across the country who are facing brutal cuts in staff contracts – your Warwick branch will continue to support our comrades throughout the UK and we will share information about petitions and other campaigns as they come to us.
