we all got naked for workers rights








Thanks for coming, everyone was amazing, we were so numerous that we looked like some kind of naked army, braving the cold, against exploitation.

it was fun action with a serious message, getting Birmingham university signed up to the WRC, if successful, would be the most significant and progressive change in UK procurement practices since fairtrade.

It would mean us as students teaming up with workers, women and all kinds of liberation activists.

corporate social responsibility is great, however in global terms it is like responding to the suffragette movement by saying we will pass equality laws but you still cannot have your own representation or votes, just trust us to be nice....

Lets hope for positive response from our VC, more actions like this are in the works so stay in touch or better start organizing your own action for the WRC with your friends, message me if you want any support
