Banner Making Workshop: Students Against Disability Cuts Protest
CUTS KILL! Banner Making Workshop
20th May // LUU Rep Room, Level 1 // Drop in anytime from 11 am -3pm // All Materials Provided // ALLIES WELCOME
LUU's Liberation Networks, led by the Student Disabled Reps, have launched a campaign against Labour's Proposed PIP Cuts and have organised a campus protest on the 21st May by the UoL Bacon Statue.
Here are some quotes from students about the importance of these payments to their lives:
"PIP is my lifeline; I cannot survive without it. And it is still not enough as it is...I receive one of the highest rates of PIP you can get, and I am still drowning...Without PIP, I would die" - UoL Student, 24/25
"If my PIP gets cut, I will likely have to drop out of university as I can only vaguely and occasionally access work...I will have to stop being a student so that I can claim full benefits" - UoL Student, 24/25
"Without these benefits, I simply would not be able to live as a student, and would instead rely on council housing and increase governmental and medical support" - UoL Student, 24/25
This campaign relies on support and solidarity of all students - not just disabled students or those receiving PIP - so come along and show your support for the Campus Protest on the 21st May.
