We, like many others in the student movement, were disgusted and appalled by the comments made about rape in connection with the Julian Assange case by Tony Benn, George Galloway, and others. Statements undermining rape or rape victims are not exclusive only to the Assange case. They take place in the context of the “Lad” culture on university campuses, with “Lads” magazines and websites like Unilad that consistently glorify, joke about or dismiss rape. Clearly, the student movement must make a stand over these issues. Continue reading

As a number of groups across Britain will be holding meetings on Assange and wikileaks over the next week(s), SWSS has produced a meeting leaflet template (Click on the photo for pdf). Given that there are huge debates around the issue SWSS activists should approach Feminist societies and others to hold a joint meeting or come and discuss with us.
Below you can read what we have written on Assange, Wikileaks and rape:
Assange must face rape charges, not US revenge
Trivialising rape wont help challenge imperialism
How the law and the police fail women over rape

The reverberations and ideological fallout of the student and Occupy movement can be felt at freshers. The number of SWSS recruits is high but we want to make sure these people also turn up to our meetings. We need to pitch our introduction meeting to SWSS far more anti-systemic and anti-capitalist than in previous years. Possible title:
- Riots, revolts and revolutions – What is the alternative to capitalism?
Comrades should build these meetings as big as possible by postering campus and mass leafleting. We should aim to attract the biggest possible audience to the first meeting. The bigger you first meeting the easier it will be to build a large SWSS group, recruit people to the party and be the centre of political activity on campus.

As the new term begins, SWSS will want to hit the ground running in schools and colleges around the country. Two national demonstrations are being organised for the next term, one by the Trade Union Congress (20th October) and the other by the National Union of Students (21st November).
The 2 demonstrations give us a great opportunity to agitate where we study and give a focus to the anger that students feel over cuts of EMA and rise in fees by the government, the victimisation by the police, and much more.
Print out the leaflet and distribute it to students, staff and teachers in your school or college, and start building the resistance from the beginning of the term.

The new academic year is around the corner. Universities around the country will hold freshers’ fairs and welcome a new generation of students. This is a great opportunity for socialists to meet hundreds of new activists.
So far SWSS is holding stalls in over 50 universities and colleges. If you would like to set up a SWSS stall were you are, or want to order publicity (check it here and here), drop us an email at swss@swp.org.uk.
We have added SWSS publicity from previous years to help kick start the new term.
If you’d like to use some of those leaflets for your SWSS group or use them as inspiration, click here.
Throughout the year, we will continue to upload centrally produced leaflets. If you make some locally that you think are worth sharing with the rest of SWSS, please email them to swss@swp.org.uk.
