Cambridge SU BME Campaign

an alumna has compiled this checklist of actions you can do to support BLM here in the UK - links to open letters and petitions to sign, templates for emails to send, fundraisers to donate to. please share widely!

Shameful that our SU Sabb is standing with ppl holding our students' future hostage. Marking is not a contractual duty, so maybe consider boycotting your contractual duties before asking for student solidarity and not emotionally blackmailing students to support you.

I'm sorry we are not model working class student that want to sacrifice our future for someone who earns more than our parents' unreasonable fantasy demands. All this solidarity cosplaying costs international, working class and all the students of disadvantaged backgrounds.

The SU take a Harm Reduction approach to drug use: we know that people take drugs for many reasons, and we want to minimise the negative impacts. These kits allow you to test your substance! You can now anonymously pick up a free drug testing kit from the SU Lounge.
