We're a group of activists with a strong presence on campus committed to justice and human rights. Last year we twinned our SU with a Palestinian University, made news in the Beaver, organised thoughtprovoking talks, a photo exhibition, Fairtrade & Food Fair and we're establishing an LSE scholarship for Palestinians.
