Friday will be a major day of global action for the Climate Strike and last week the TUC passed a motion (tabled by UCU) to support the school student Global Climate Strike on 20th September and has called on TUC affiliate unions to organise a 30 minute work day campaign action to coincide with the school students strike on 20th September.

Please come along, if you can, to demonstrate your support. There are a range of speakers confirmed – all will be saying a few short words on #climatestrike and they are:

1. Bea Gardner (UCU Postgraduate Representative and SUSU link)
2. Emily Harrison (President, SUSU)
3. Rachel Mills (Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Life Sciences)
4. Simon Kemp (Professorial Fellow in Education for Sustainable Development)
5. Roger Tyres (Research Fellow, Faculty of Social Sciences)

Come to pledge your support for the school strikers, and make practical suggestions to help the University as a whole fulfil the Southampton Green Charter commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030.
