At today's @UM_UCU rally for the #UCUStrikesBack, a @LibDems candidate was invited to speak. We can't understand why they were given a platform, esp as their party is responsible for instituting brutal austerity, the #HostileEnvironment, & against workers' rights! 1/1

Banner drop and chalk graffiti at York by @cut_rent!
We’ve been all over the @UniOfYork campus protesting at the exploitative rent costs management are sucking from students! It’s the @rentstrikenow national day of action! Let’s get organised against fat cat managers who don’t care about student mental wellbeing

Student rents are an absolute rip off, this is one of the most exciting campaigns we've heard about for a while - high student rents are a massive roadblock to people with low incomes wanting to go to university. Time to go on rent strike!!! 🔥

See that our pressure on @UniOfYork has worked. All those FOI requests for management worried 👀
On the global climate crisis, Vice-Chancellor Professor Charlie Jeffery says he is “pleased to announce that the University of York no longer holds investments in fossil fuel companies” adding that the University is to produce an evidenced plan of response to the crisis.
