If you're a student or apprentice that identifies as one or several of our Liberation Groups (Disabled, LGBTQ+, Racialised, Trans and Women), this is your chance to join the Liberation Collective. We are a network of activists organising and supporting each other and we aim to build community, promote collective care and take action at a national level.

It doesn't matter if you're just starting your journey as an activist or if you're a seasoned campaigner, expect a relaxed and welcoming event where you'll connect and collaborate with others.  

This free event will take place at Leeds University Union but it's open for current students an apprentices from any other universities and colleges.
