Tony Benn and George Galloway to join the speakers
The last two weeks have seen an extraordinary wave of solidarity action for Gaza on UK campuses, with student occupations at 22 universities and colleges so far.
The students' demands have been for the universities and
colleges to provide scholarships for Palestinian students, to
send books and unused computers to Palestine, to condemn the
Israeli attacks on Gaza and to disinvest from Israel,
specifically from investing in BAE, which supplies arms to
Israel.
A victory for these demands has been won in the majority of
universities and colleges which took action. More occupations
are likely to follow on other campuses.
Stop the War has organised a student activists' meeting in
London on Saturday 7 February, at which the speakers will
include Tony Benn, George Galloway MP, Jeremy Corbyn MP and
Lindsey German, national convenor of Stop the War.
The meeting is open to everyone who wants to build an active
anti-war movement on campus. Please publicise the meeting as
widely as you can.
