Hi, I'm Faizan - BA Sociology, third year, running to be your next Campaigns & Activities Officer. I have been a part of a number of campaigns on and off campus: fighting against cuts to education, rising fees, anti-fascism, and for housing rights. Being a student ambassador and an active member in several societies, I’m aware of various difficulties students face and ways to tackle them. I’m a firm believer that Goldsmiths is at the forefront of student activism and we can continue to better our university and the national climate, one campaign at a time.
Voting for me means prioritising the following issues next year:
HOUSING:
- Opposing rising rent prices and privatisation of accommodation
- Campaigning for Goldsmiths to match their increasing student numbers with the number of dorm rooms we have
- Working on an SU-led housing agency, providing a safer service for students to rely on
#STUDENTSNOTSUSPECTS
- Raising awareness on the effects of the PREVENT agenda on Muslim students
- Lobbying Goldsmiths to recognise the importance of learning without the threat of surveillance and educators spying on us
CELEBRATING OUR SUCCESSESS
- Finding space to celebrate the amazing victories students manage to do on their own
- Pushing Goldsmiths to value sport clubs and provide more support
- Investing more resources in our student-run activities, such as Wired Radio and social nights in The Stretch, to increase membership
COLLABORATION, COLLABORATION, COLLABORATION:
- More communication between the SU and its members
- Providing a platform for societies and clubs to engage with one another and creating the chance for cross-group activities to happen
- Building connections between the SU and the local community to create local projects to tackle homelessness and gentrification and finding reasonable solutions to solve issues like transport and practice space
