What is Liberation?
At NUS, Liberation means working collectively to fight oppression and supporting each other to heal from it.
NUS Liberation builds on a long history of individuals and groups that represent Disabled, LGBT+, Racialised, Trans and Women students and apprentices, playing a crucial role in NUS's impact on education and society.
On this page you can find everything we are doing at NUS Liberation and how to get involved. You can also sign up here to get updates and join the Liberation Collective.
Find out more about the Liberation Collective!
The Liberation Collective is NUS’ new space to strengthen and support liberation activism and it is led by students and apprentices from our five liberation groups: Disabled, LGBT+, Racialised, Trans and Women.
The Collective is the result of a 5-year process of consultation, research, co-design and democratic activity with participation from all liberation groups and all nations, as well as HE and FE members. Become a member and collaborate with others to build a national network of liberation activists.
