UCSA Representing




Just a quick update on what went on in Wellington. That weekend was a prime example of how student solidarity and efforts, can change attitudes and cause impact at the bee hive. The UCSA delegation together with fellow NZUSA delegates marched up to the steps of parliament in solidarity to rally against student debt and campaign to the politicians.

It was a highly successful rally, as we got huge media coverage and attention. I also believe this has caused significant impact, and is one of the reasons why youth and tertiary policies have reached the surface in wellington, and has become a major campaign issue for both parties. They are listening, and we should give it to them loud and clear.
