Original message from Wes Streeting, ex-president of the NAtional Union of Students (NUS)
We owe it to future generations of students in Britain to continue the fight against the market in tuition fees.
…
Lord Browne’s recent review published a set of recommendations that went even further than I thought possible: uncapped, unregulated tuition fees. I believe this would be a disaster for fair access. Degrees potentially costing from 7-12,000 a year.
Our friends NUS and students’ unions across the country have mobilised to action. The new NUS President, Aaron Porter, has been doing a superb job in speaking up for students and standing up for social justice. Let’s get behind them and do our bit!
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1. Come and Join us at the the NUS National Demonstration and march. Central London. 10.11.10.
2. Write to your MP
Many Lib Dems and a few Tories have already said they’ll rebel. The new leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband, backs a graduate tax making it more likely that Labour will play ball this time.
Every Lib Dem, including Clegg and Cable signed a pledge to vote against any increase in fees. We need to hold them - and every other MP who signed, to their promise.
Write with your concerns to your local MP via www.theyworkforyou.com
Its a weekday, but many of you will be studying every-day so you can apply for a University you might not be able to afford. Come and join us, raise your voice against raising tuition fees!
3.invite people to the event or send as an e-mail to everyone you know
