At Goldsmiths University of London 62 have agreed to leave, 17 people have been redeployed, there are 18 people with their situation unresolved until this evening. As a union branch we're trying to save those 18. @goldsmithsucu

Hind Khoudary Hind Khoudary is my hero. Can’t think of a braver, more inspiring person in the current moment. I pray daily for her safety & feel such happiness to see her face & hear her voice even as what she is reporting is always horrific.
