Hi Everyone! I'm not sure if you all know this, but currently the UNSW Student Union provides us with our shop space free of rent, and was instrumental in ensuring that we still have a co-op. It's now the Union which is under threat, from none other than VSU (Voluntary Student Unionism). No matter what your particular political beliefs, Thoughtful Foods would not have, and would not exist (as least in it's current form) without the support and funding of Student Unions at UNSW (not to mention all the other great stuff they do!)
So I thought I would write to remind you all that there is a Student Unions National Day of Action tomorrow against VSU. It's important that we, as Thoughtful Foods, get as people out there as possible to show our support for both the Guild (who provided us with free rent and support for many years) and the Union (who currently provide our shop rent-free). So get out there, wear your t-shirts if you have them and show Australia the cultural diversity of UNSW and university life. WHAT: Anti-VSU Rally WHEN: Tomorrow 12pm-> WHERE: Meeting at the library lawn for speakers from the greens and labour parties, followed by a free bus ride into town to march down past UTS and Sydney. WHY: Cause we love our student unions- even the uni doesn't support this EXTRA INFO: The VC has asked that students do not get penalised academically for attending the march. See you there! Peace, love and good vibes... * gem * "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this?
