Show your support for the university to help subsidise a bus to London so we can show solidarity and join the National Student Demo on 4th November.

From scrapping Maintenance Grants, planning to raise tuition fees, slashing support for disabled students and making brutal funding cuts to Adult & Further Education; to keeping thousands of people locked up in detention centres and deporting international students to their deaths: the Conservative Government is attacking us from all sides, and it’s time to fight back.

We don’t just want a return to small grants that are barely enough to pay rent; we want living grants for all, so that no student has to live in poverty, and a system of support which means there are no barriers to the education system.

We don’t just want a gradu
ate tax, or a return to £3,000 fees; we want an education system which is free, in all senses of the word. We want liberated, democratic universities where knowledge is exchanged with each other and not for profit.

We don’t just want international students to be allowed to stay here for a few months after they have finished studying; we want a world which welcomes immigration and freedom of movement.

Free Education and Living Grants are not pipe dreams. They can be funded by taxing the rich and clamping down on tax avoidance. We won’t get the world we want by asking nicely, though
