With the Fossil Free divestment movement continuing to sweep the country, and 93 universities divested so far, students are now taking up the next fight against the corporate players most responsible for destroying our planet for profit.

Thanks to some great work by student campaigners, the University of Sheffield Student's Union has voted through a Fossil Free Careers motion, meaning they will be boycotting all fossil fuel company recruitment events! You can read the full motion below.

We, the undersigned, state our unconditional solidarity with all higher education staff taking industrial action as part of UCU strikes beginning in December 2021.

As campaigning organisations led by and working with students, we reject the divide and rule narratives deployed against striking staff, and we state unequivocally: students support UCU members and their decision to take industrial action. This is not just our own first-hand experience, but is supported by NUS research showing 73% of polled students back the strikes.
