The Struggle for a better world begins at home: Join UMSU Left!
Our group is entirely new on campus. It aims to be an organisation that brings together those of us who oppose society’s status quo and believe that students should work towards a better world. It has become clear in these times - which are full of challenges for our generation - a strong leftwing grouping that works collectively is long overdue…
Our manifesto consists of five points and anyone who agrees to these can join in and participate:
1) Opposing the ‘War on Terror’: No to war, occupation and draconian laws!
2)Education Not Profit: Lets put forward another vision of education - socialised and free!
3) Campaigning against Climate Change and environmental destruction: the environment must come before profit!
4) Opposing all forms of oppression: no to racism, Islamophobia, sexism and homophobia!
5) Building a democratic and campaigning Union: we need a Union that doesn’t shy away from hard topics and fighting for our rights!
I invite everyone who reads this to join in and help us make a better world - the struggle begins here and your contribution is certainly needed! Finally, I wish to remind you that we’ve come to a point in history where we’ll either change things radically or face severe consequences. So let’s do it!
