The image is a collage containing two main sections and additional text elements. The top section is a screenshot from a social media post by "UCU - University and College Union." It has a white background with black text, highlighting a decision made at the UCU Congress 2025 to oppose racism and the far-right, with specific commitments listed. Below this is a bold, magenta panel with white uppercase text that says "PASSED! COMMITTING OUR UNION TO" followed by smaller text: "Oppose racist immigration laws, stand-up to the far right, and support anti-racist organising." At the bottom left, there is angled text stating, "Working with SUTR & 'turning out for mass anti-racist' protest will not end xeno-racist immigration policies or stop the far-right!" The bottom right features a logo with text "UNIS RESIST BORDER CONTROLS" and a stylized image of a graduation cap and an academic building.
The image features a section from a manifesto document. At the top is a stylized black-and-white image of a person on a purple background. Below, the title "6. HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT" is prominently displayed, followed by a subheading "6.1 Compensating the material costs of anti-immigrant policies." The document describes issues related to immigration policies in educational and work environments, mentioning topics like visa costs, xenophobia, and policies affecting BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) students and staff. Important texts are bolded and underlined for emphasis, such as "to challenge" and "aggressively over-enforce." Surrounding the document, there is a large pink arrow pointing toward the page and additional pink text reading "From Jo Grady’s 2019 manifesto pledge that has been forgotten by Jo & her supporters!" In the bottom right corner, there is a logo and text that says "UNIS RESIST BORDER CONTROLS."
The image is divided into two main sections. The top section features a text block titled "6.2 Campaigning against surveillance and the security state." The text discusses the effects of the hostile environment on research, particularly regarding overseas colleagues facing issues with visas and surveillance measures. Terms like "forced" are emphasized in red. Below this, there are hyperlinks to campaigns such as "International and Broke" and "Unis Resist Border Controls." An arrow points from the text to the bottom left section, which has a gradient black background with pink text reading, "What happened to your 2019 manifesto promises, Jo?" In the bottom right corner, the logo for "Unis Resist Border Controls" features a stylized image of a protester and a broken chain motif.
In relation to our tweet on X, a comrade told us:
"UCU is better at organising to strengthen the SWP than itself"
We couldn't say it any better.
