ULU’s primary purpose is to defend and extend the rights of its members, and to campaign on issues that you democratically vote for – either in elections or through democratic council meetings such as the ULU Senate. So it’s up to you what we campaign on, but here is some of what we have in store. For more info on any of our campaigns, email Liam McNulty at [email protected]

#Save ULU In May 2013, the University of London announced its intention to close ULU from August 2014 and replace it with a management run student services centre. We regard this as a disgraceful attack on democratic autonomy and on student services, and we will fight tooth and nail to ensure that the ULU building and the services it provides remain under democratic student-led control, either as ULU or as the headquarters of a new London-wide students’ union.

Defending Education and the Welfare State We believe that university education should be a free and accessible public service, run democratically for the benefit of society by students and staff, and funded by taxing the wealthy and big business. ULU has played an iconic role in recent years as a flashpoint of mobilisation and co- ordination against the government’s plans to privatise education and the welfare state – so watch out for the odd demo, and get involved in anti-cuts activism on your own campus!

Page12 Cosas 3 Cosas – ‘three things’ in Spanish – is a vibrant campaign to win sick pay, holiday pay and pensions for the University of London’s outsourced cleaners, who at the moment suffer from bad working conditions. The campaign is led primarily by cleaners, and it has so embarrassed University senior managers that they have tried to ban protest on campus!

ULU Housing Campaign

Housing is one of the biggest campaigns for the years ahead. Halls are being privatised, and rent in London has sky-rocketed in recent years. We often live in bad conditions miles from campus, getting screwed over by landlords and agents. ULU has already produced a ‘know your rights’ guide, and we’ll be organising in halls, linking up with other campaign groups and establishing a London Student Tenants Union. We’ll need your involvement, so watch out!

Rights at Work

Student Guide to A significant proportion of the student population of London work, largely because of how high the cost of living is here. Students IGHTS who work are often un-unionised and exploited R by employers, and we going to be fighting to T ORK ensure that you are able to organise at work. A W Hollaback! ULU Hollaback! ULU calls for London Universities and students’ unions to work together to combat sexual harassment on campus, implement a zero tolerance culture, encouraging victims to ‘hollaback’ using clear and accessible reporting systems – to say no to victim blaming and yes to support services. It also involves improving methods of reporting sexual harassment and giving the tools to students and staff on campuses to give better support to victims and tackle campus specific issues head on.

Page13 Susuana Antubam, ULU Liberation Network Womens Officer [email protected]

The ULU Liberation Network is made up of the four ULU autonomous liberation campaigns: Women, Disabled, Black* and LGBT+. Each liberation campaign has its own network and elected officer whose job is to facilitate intersectional liberation campaigns and events for students across London campuses. Working with liberation officers and activist in London Students’ Unions, the liberation officers at ULU hope to build a strong support network and use the University of London Union as a centre point for student liberation activism. The ULU Liberation Network aims to provide safe spaces for self-identified members of liberation groups to come together, discuss and campaign around issues which are important to them. The ULU Liberation Network will also enable student unions to combine energy and resources into campaigns that affect students nationally as well as regionally.
