January 8, London – Educate! Agitate! Organise!

EDUCATE. AGITATE. ORGANISE. Join us in solidarity with people resisting fascism on the streets of India, and across the globe. Come for a day of teach-outs, speak-outs, and performances. A space for collective anger, resistance, camaraderie, and rage against the oppressive system. 8 to 8 on 8 (8 am to 8 pm on the 8th of January) outside the India House, Aldwych, London. This event is being organised in response to the brutal crackdown on students of various universities in India. They have made our universities a battleground. We are also coming together in solidarity with the nation wide strike called in India: “As part of the #FeesMustFall movement and also the movement to save democracy in India the All India Forum to Save Public Education  have decided to observe national education strike on January 8th. The working class is also going for a national strike on the same day against the anti-people, anti-workers policies of the government. Farmers and agricultural workers will also join the strike. Students across the nation will boycott classes and come out to the streets raising the slogans for affordable and equitable education, scholarships and proper implementation of reservation, campus democracy and gender sensitization committee against sexual harassment, and also to build larger unity with the fighting masses in the country. The strike is also against the vicious attempt to divide India over communal lines. We appeal the students across the globe to come up in support of the January 8th education strike in India.”
