Welcome to Socialist Worker Student Society (SWSS)
SWSS is the student wing of Britain's largest revolutionary socialist organistation, the Socialist Worker Party. We are the socialist group on campus, fighting against all forms of oppression and exploitation. We believe in a combination of marxist theory and political activism.
We stand for the liberation of Palestine, system change not climate change, LGBTQ+ rights and womens liberation and against the Tories, racism and fascism, getting involved in numerous campaigns around these issues, both on campus and in the city, such as BLM marches, UCU solidarity and anti-racist actions on campus.
We hold weekly meetings on wide-ranging issues. Previous meetings have included 'Marxism and Mental Health', 'Sex and Sexuality in the Era of Love Island' and 'A People's History of Hip-Hop'. These are a great opportunity to learn about current issues and history as well as to discuss politics with other students. We also hold regular cultural events and socials (all on zoom at the moment).
