Tilde Resare, Sheffield Socialist Students

Socialist Students Sheffield organised a demonstration against Trump and Netanyahu’s bombings and imperialist escalation in the Middle East. This is the first demo we’ve organised. From this, we got the contact details of several people interested in Socialist Students.

Our campaign started following our International Women’s Day discussion, which focused on the ‘Women, Life, Freedom’ movement in Iran, following the brutal murder of Mahsa Amini by the regime’s ‘morality police’ in 2022.

We promoted our event on social media, had a dedicated leafleting session, as well as attending another student-led demo on campus. We held the protest at the lunchtime rush outside our student union building.

This protest reached different students compared to our previous campaigning. We’re organising more events and campaigns to grow our presence on campus.
