Universities are using attendance monitoring to pressure international students to cross picket lines.

Border controls weaken the strike. They segregate our political organising.

👇👇👇for how to fight back!

#strikebackborders
❗️STEP 1❗️Strike solidarity groups, BME campaigns and anti-racist groups, SUs: write to your VC demanding that no attendance is taken on strike days.

Check out a template email here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C-PBXw3B3WasYK_vO5AGXTMFxL-E3Icb?usp=sharing

After the initial demand, encourage ALL students to bombard the VC.
❗️STEP 2❗️Contact striking staff in departments (more sympathetic first) to suggest departments cancel attendance internally.
❗️STEP 3❗️Make sure people know how intl students are being pressured, and the importance of your demand: use this graphic and the hashtag #strikebackborders on social media, announce it at rallies, get it covered in student press.
❗️STEP 4❗️Include it in the demands of your occupations 💥💥💥
