In the build up to Cop26 we’ll be exploring the relationship between education & climate justice climatereparations.uk
So, how can we relate school exclusion with the climate crisis? According to NME co-founder Zahra Bei, “there are many parallels” (thread 🧵)

Cleaning dept at @unibirmingham is insisting that they have to bring clocking in/out back from Monday. No other staff at the Uni have to do this - it comes from a place of prejudice and there are significant safety risks involved. Here's why 👇/thread

i support the boycott of clubs for “girls night in” but i don’t support the idea of enhancing security. it’s not an effective solution and is gonna cause a lot more harm to people. please try to stop seeing policing as the only way to solve issues of violence, harassment etc

Our second event is a talk and discussion on transphobia by our LGBTQ Officer Fenn, and SU Trans Officer, Abi! This is an extremely important topic, and one we feel very strongly about especially in light of increased transphobic ‘activism’ in Coventry and the surrounding areas:
🏳️⚧️✊
Branch resolution passed unanimously supporting rights of trans & non-binary staff & students following recent events at @SussexUni ✊✊

A favorite Hasidic teachings:
Noah* utterly failed. He failed his mission, and life.
He was supposed to argue with the Divine, and to do more to save the people of his generation.
Creating your own surviving arc is failure 🤦♀️
* of Biblical Arc fame - this week's Torah portion
Content Warning: Sexual Violence
Teaching students to protect their drinks does not address or alleviate the culture of sexual violence fostered by many universities, including ours.
Continuing on with our night out safety tips, this week we're focusing on protecting your drink. It only takes a second for a drink to be compromised, so:
- Only get your drinks from the bar
- Don't leave your drink unattended
- Cover your drink with your hand
Stay safe!

For anybody watching the Wayne Couzens trial: if you're stopped by cops and asked about what you're doing, you have the legal right to refuse to answer and walk away. You can't be searched or arrested just for refusing their questions. libertyhumanrights.org.uk/ad…

I am aware of constituents of mine who have family members trapped in Afghanistan, fleeing the Taliban & fearing for their lives.
If you're a constituent of Coventry South & have family members in that situation, please email me ASAP & I will do everything I can to assist you.
