Dear
colleague
In this week’s campaign update:
Celebrate migrants this Monday: One Day Without Us, 20 February
This Monday 20 February UCU is supporting the One Day Without Us celebration of the contribution migrants make. Please link arms, hold up posters and post selfies with hashtags #ucu and #1DayWithoutUs. More information, events and downloads here.
Monday is also the day MPs will debate whether to allow Donald Trump a state visit and activists will march on Parliament to say no to the racism and division of Trump and the populist Right. See here for other 'Stop Trump' events taking place across the UK.
'Cradle to Grave' event calls on progressives to take control
Please watch and share this short film of last weekend’s 'Cradle to Grave' conference which brought together voices from across education and progressive politics to discuss the future for education in a post-Brexit world.
This year's event to defend public education saw an excellent range of speakers and covered topics including the transformative power of further education, widening access to universities, and how education can counter racist myths and help create a fair and just society.
