Strike School 2 (2020 Edition)

We now have a programme for the second week of Strike School 2 - the 2020 edition of our series of teach-outs.

Please check back frequently as this an evolving programme. You can always come to the picket in front of Chandler House before 12:00 and we will know where to go.

Please share this information widely and check back regularly for updates.

We would like you to know that the pubs are letting us use their space for free. So do consider buying yourself a drink, buying your lecturers a drink, and having lunch there so that they can continue to support causes like ours without having to charge.
