Description
Change must start now. Capitalism has shown itself unable to provide for most of the world’s population. It exploits billions of human beings, destroys entire cultures, and threatens The Climate merely to protect the profits of a tiny minority. Students are not insulated, as rising costs and marketisation continue to erode education.
We, collectively, deserve better than this.
The University of Bristol Socialist Society is an open forum for Socialists on campus. We host a variety of events, including group discussions, panels, and regular socials. Our meetings are at 7pm on Thursdays, in The Hawthorns.
In the interest of democratic organisation and pluralism, our activities are planned through open organisational meetings held every other week.
Last year we hosted meetings including:
- A panel on the climate crisis with local climate organisers
- A discussion on housing in Bristol with an SU officer, a Unite Housing Rep, and an academic
- A workshop on protest safety
- A meeting on the end of sexism, misogyny, and Capitalism
This term some key topics will include:
- Organising the Left
- Palestinian liberation and the complicity of the Arms Trade
- A workshop on employment rights
'Another world is not only possible, she is on her way.' - Arundhati Roy
