March 18, 5 p.m. till late.

We stand united, as students and staff, in opposition to the new points-based immigration rules.... They frame students as suspects and turn staff into border agents. Join us, meet others, and help spread the campaign! With Frances Webber (Human Rights Lawyer), Phil Booth (NO2ID), Valerie Hartwich (Manifesto Club), Sandy Nicoll (SOAS Living Wage Campaign/Justice for Cleaners), speakers from the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, No Borders, and more.

Hosted by Goldsmiths Student Union and Goldsmiths UCU

The "students not suspects" campaign is inviting to a public meeting:

8 February 2010 , 17:00 - 20:00, The Stretch, Dixon Road, Goldsmiths SE14 6NW

The new ‘points based’ immigration rules represent a serious threat to campus democracy and freedom of speech. They require non-EU students and staff to have biometric ID cards if they extend their visas, involve demands on the financial background of applicants and mean that staff are obliged to report students to the UK Border Agency when they have not attended regularly.We feel these rules are unfair, unwarranted and undemocratic.

Speakers: Tony Benn, Robert Sharp, Campaigns Manager, English PEN
Sean Vernell, National Executive, University and College Union (UCU)
Bellavio Ribeiro-Addy, NUS Black Students' Officer

Following our public meeting at the beginning of December (entitled 'Freedom of Thought, Freedom of Movement'), we are having an organising meeting to build the campaign against the Points-Based System for Immigration. Join us and bring your ideas for actions and events so we can build awareness and opposition to the new immigration rules. All welcome.
