Calendar

to celebrate the last meeting of the school year, we will host yet another potluck. This time at paardenveld! We will hopefully get some sun, and enjoy eachothers company over a community dinner and some drinks! Bring some vegan food if you can and lets celebrate the start of the summer vacation together.

Because so many students and teachers still don’t feel heard by the Organisation of the HKU, we organise a session at Nieuwekade. We will together write our thoughts and worries about abolished workshop policy. We invited the CvB to come and pick up this book, and have a chat with their students.

On June 12 we will have a communal quilt session with HKU4Palestine so feel free to come at any time of day! We will be in the HKU Nieuwekade entrance hall from 10:30 making a quilt that we will be able to use as a banner for other protests. No experience needed! So bring your friends, your favorite art supplies such as paints, embroidery or knitting supplies and come quilt with us!

When: June 12 from 10:30 - end of day Where: Nieuwekade 1 entrance hall

Note that this will be a quilt session in the form of a (low-risk) demonstration, so if you feel comfortable covering your face since there will likely be cameras inside please do so!

THREAD NEEDLES, CUT TIES!

So whether you’ve never been to a demo, or u want to take it a bit further and learn some more. Come learn with us about direct action, what your rights are en what to do in case of arrest. This is a very useful training if you want to protest whilst enforcing a bit more pressure, but as police repression is growing it can also be handy for if you go to regular demonstrations.

Please join our sit-in, attend our workshops and join forces. HKU students and staff, let’s finally mobilize!

Our demands:

The HKU must write a statement that clearly rejects the genocide, disproportionate violence, and impending ethnic cleansing committed by Israel The HKU must sever ties with Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design The HKU must investigate any connections with Israeli institutions, companies and investors, making these public, and severing these ties

Program:

Start @ 12:00 atrium Oudenoord Activitities 12:00-16:20 will include: making banners/patches/buttons, teach-ins, speeches and chanting. @ 16:20: marching to Nieuwekade @ 17:00: chanting at nieuwekade and delivering written demands to the CvB @ 18:00: potluck Student Union @ Paardenveld

Please bring some materials to make stuff for the protesting or for your own patches etc. think about fabric, cardboard and markers. Also please bring instruments so we can make some noise! (or nice music occasionally).

The sit in will be inspired by the character of the UU encampment - so we can connect, learn and make a statement! If you can also bring food for the HKU Student Union’s potluck in the evening!

Potluck

Even Ants need to rest after an action. So the Union is organising a Potluck at Paardenveld on May 26st, right after the demonstration at Nieuwekade. Bring yourself, your friends, your enthousiasm and if you can a vegan meal/snack. Lets take some time to unwind after a full day and meet some of your fellow friends from the ant hill.
