University of Birmingham Encampment Coalition for Palestine has launched!

As the situation in Gaza escalates, so too does the global student movement towards establishing lasting peace and liberating Palestine ✊️🇵🇸

Statement from Birmingham UCU and Unison University of Birmingham Branch on the University of Birmingham Encampment for Palestine

We urge the Uni management to respect the peaceful student encampment and to constructively engage with the student demands.

As the University continues to ignore staff and students demands in both open letters signed by hundreds, we are proud of these students taking action. Solidarity from staff and trade union to Warwick Stands With Palestine 👍

We 💜 our pup supporters 🐾 thanks Franco! 🐶 all doggos will be cuddled at our picket lines 🥰 [img: person with pink hair holding a dachshund in their arms at the picket line]

Students and staff, standing together ✊ [img: quote from accessible picket “thank you for everything you do for us students, you deserve security and rights rather than precarious employment”]
