A follow-up to our tweet, the recommendations from the Russell Group SUs & UKCISA report about the international student experience contain significant gaps. A failure of this report is not confronting the #HostileEnvironment policy affecting migrant students. We unpack why this matters. 🧵

Hi ‪@osma-basil.bsky.social‬! We regularly give funds to The Sameer Project, who are doing mutual aid in Gaza and doing incredible live-saving work. We gave them £100 earlier today: chuffed.org/project/1132... I can put you in touch with The Sameer Project if you/your family need urgent help.

The Russell Group SUs' report on migrant students affirms much of what we've been saying for 9 years. Read the study here: qrplanet.com/ybz0fr?ref These series of tweets, we unpack the report. But the report could have gone father. Watch for our 2nd part on this study. 🧵

The liberation of #Palestine & the sovereignty of #Iran are connected struggles❗ Print off our poster. Colour and black & white versions available (copy & paste link): tinyurl.com/4fmjyeka Stop Israel-US Imperialism❗ End Genocide in GAZA ❗ Stop War in IRAN ❗

In relation to our tweet on X, a comrade told us: "UCU is better at organising to strengthen the SWP than itself" We couldn't say it any better. A full analysis can be found via our IG account: www.instagram.com/p/DKHvb6GM2C...

We support migrant students globally who work to end carceral policies. That's why we affirm Momodou Taal & his important fight against unjust ICE detention & his mission to ensure the civil liberties for all US students. We've donated, please do the same. 🔽 chuffed.org/project/1258...

Important piece by Amandla Thomas-Johnson on how US migrant students involved in Palestine solidarity work are having their student visas weaponised by milquetoast university bosses who are kowtowing to normalising fascism on campus and Trump's bombastic rhetoric. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Via @dropsitenews.com Mahmoud Khalil was detained by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last night. This was done with the full complicity of @columbiauniversity.bsky.social ▶️Sign this letter demanding Khalil's release: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

Happy #IWD2025 except to the women who forward anti-migrant, xeno-racist policies responsible for our deaths & creating barriers. Solidarity to migrant women who are fighting for their free movement & working to end #HostileEnvironment policy in the UK. #InternationalWomensDay

Today marks our 9 year anniversary 🎉 For close to a decade, this migrant-led campaign has worked diligently to end #HostileEnvironment policy in UK higher education. Our direction has changed. Read our "New Ways of Working" statement & get involved: linktr.ee/urbc

Earlier today we joined Palestine solidarity activists in a protest organised by City Action for Palestine. This protest was called after an anti-Palestine, anti-migrant poster was found in the men's toilets at City, University of London. More on that here: www.instagram.com/p/DGVgIgZIrJ... 🧵

Bizarre statement @ucu.org.uk. For 6️⃣ years you refused to work with us to end #HostileEnvironment policy in UK HE. As this policy extend to other areas, instead, you capitulate to the very neoliberal, marketised dynamics that harms migrant students & all staff alike. 🧵

Strange that @ucu.org.uk shares this @bbcnewsofficial.bsky.social article - see here x.com/ucu/status/1... & yet, no discussion how this piece features exclusively white British students. Does @ucu.org.uk think that migrant students aren't affected by cuts? Article: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧵

Thank you so much for your kind words & solidarity @qmucu.bsky.social. Hope all other @ucu.org.uk branches will follow us @ducu.bsky.social @umucu.bsky.social @sheffielducu.bsky.social @uswucu.bsky.social @ucuglos.bsky.social @ucugreenwich.bsky.social @ucuwestminster.bsky.social @uclucu.bsky.social
