The Cambridge Defend Education campaign organises through regular meetings, where we all make key decisions together – all are welcome – check the calendar for details of the next meeting. We also have core working groups that anyone can join to get involved in a particular aspect of organisation:
- Media
- Outreach
- Fundraising
- Meetings
There are also working groups that focus on specific actions, such as the upcoming teach-in.
This needs to be a growing campaign in order to effectively fight the cuts and fees. To get involved or share information about related campaigns in your uni/school/workplace:
- Sign up to the announce list (a low-volume bulletin with updates of upcoming events and campaigns) or the organising list
- E-mail camdefendeducation@gmail.com
- Facebook page
(which is for organising those events and campaigns- please subscribe if you want to get more involved!)
If you would like to have a message or shout-out included on a Cambridge Defend Education email bulletin, let us know, and get in touch via email.
Keep up the great pressure. I am a supervisor and would, like those who signed the petition, like to send my message of support and solidarity. I also have a cheeky idea. I imagine that one of the limiting factors on the occupation might be the fear of missing supervisions next week, as apparently a lot of people are studying hard and doing their essays. Is it possible for supervisors to get in and get out, legally? If so, I would be happy to come in and give additional individual supervisions to any of my students who are occuping and might stop occupying if they think it means missing class. I imagine I’m not the only one willing to come in and teach – if someone can post a list of students’ subjects and colleges (but no names) for which supervisions would be welcomed, then we can get in touch if we’re needed and able to come.
Hey Supervisor; You’ve probably heard, but so far no-one is being stopped from going in or out freely i.e. students, members of the public or anyone – some people have certainly already been having supervisions inside, but maybe that was you!
Good stuff. I am going to need a decent amount of time to entertain your site!
