SOAS activists are once more in the move.
After a general activists meeting last Monday and a smaller, education activists caucus on the 12th, SOAS students have now start3ed a (temporarily named) SOAS Anti-Cuts group.
Similarly to actions taken all across the country, SOAS students have taken the campus to protest against the issuing of the Browne Review, this Tuesday.
Spreading the message through leafleting and talking to fellow students during lunch breaks, SOAS activists hope to not only raise awareness about the consequences of the imminent privatization of Higher Education, but also to establish a solid network of students within SOAS willing to campaign for free-education and against the cuts.
With a nice little stall in front of the main building as centre stage to all action, many were the ones that stopped by, exchanged ideas and left their contact details for future action.
Big things seem to be brewing so watch this space!
“If this is your first demo, don’t let it be your last”, as one speaker put it at today’s London South Bank demonstration today. The following actions are taking place at the following institutions today (12 October, date of Browne Review announcement). Post being updated throughout the day!

and COMING UP!
