The #SaveBrightonUni indefinite #strike has been going on for 110 days now & has been designated as one of 'national significance' in #highereducation history. The UCU must now increase pressure & publicity #BrightonUni

Preliminary analysis by FA, Al-Haq الحق & earshot.ngo into the #AlAhli hospital blast in Gaza casts significant doubt on IOF claims that the source of the deadly explosion was a Palestinian-fired rocket travelling west to east.

Fantastic to see Brighton UCU still standing strong on the picket line.

Brighton strikers are an inspiration to us all!

#ucuRISING #Solidarity #SaveBrightonUni

We're on strike until University of Brighton rescinds every single compulsory redundancy! If our managers think we'll come back to work next week they've got another thing coming. SMT has made its needless financial savings through VR & resignations. Stop the cuts #savebrightonuni

It is all well and good that UCU were able to protect members’ pensions, but are you aware that investments from USS directly fund the Israeli apartheid and genocide currently taking place in #Palestine ?

📣Upcoming Event:

Join us for Black Feminist Writers and Palestine 🇵🇸

🗓️Sunday, October 22
⏰5:30 PM ET/2:30 PM PT
📍Zoom
🔗 bit.ly/BlackFeminists…

Featuring: Clarissa Brooks, Angela Y. Davis, ❤️‍🔥, BSJ, & Jaimee Swift.

Today, 500 Jews were arrested and 10k took to the streets to support and to demand a ceasefire and an end to Palestinian genocide.

We shut down congress to draw mass attention to the U.S. complicity in Israel's ongoing oppression of Palestinians. But our work isn't done. 🧵

Today, we took out a full-page ad in the New York Times, calling on Biden to facilitate an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and stop sending the Israeli military more weapons.

We're calling for a ceasefire — and bringing our message to 740,000 print subscribers.

Brighton UCU UCU Left Upend the Arts

⏰Today 17 Oct, at 10am
📍ONCA Gallery
⚡Stop the closure of research centres
Teach out in support of saving CMNH that is due to be shut down. The right wing agenda that is driving these cuts & job losses is all about forgetting & moving on. We cannot learn if we delete the past!

Over 1000 children have now died in Gaza in 9 days. 3000 people dead in total. 11,000 injured. 50,000 about to starve.

If you are an academic who's not opposing the genocide & occupation in Palestine right now, then you can take the word decolonisation out of your mouth forever.

By any definition these are war crimes being committed by Israeli forces against Palestinian civilians. Reports from hospitals in Gaza by MSF International are equally distressing. Calling for restraint now is not enough. The call must be for a ceasefire & immediate supply of humanitarian aid

The Live Art Development Agency is delighted to announce that we have re-entered Arts Council England’s National Portfolio.

We would like to thank the artists and communities that trusted and supported LADA during this time of crisis.

I’m proud to have co-chaired yesterday’s massive Palestine march, and of the role @stwuk played in co-organising, w/ @pscupdates & especially our Vice Chair Chris Nineham who led a huge team of stewards. Early start again organising for Saturday.

Let’s make it bigger.

Today we wrote to Kings management expressing our concerns about the Government’s attempts to restrict academic freedom, freedom of expression & protest while supporting Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. We demand the College confirms its commitment to guarantee such freedoms
