| Hi everyone, |
| Following the events of the past week and beyond, as an SU we would like to first assure you that we stand in uncompromising solidarity with the Black community and those demonstrating against anti-Black systemic racism across the US and the world. |
| Racial injustice is happening globally and here at Warwick, and it is the responsibility of the privileged to learn, reflect and use our voices to fight for change. This week, this is our main focus and as a result we have postponed our Union Awards until further notice, alongside other activity to ensure that we are directing our efforts where they are needed the most. |
| For those feeling traumatised, hurt and upset by what is happening around us, we encourage you to prioritise your wellbeing at this time. Tiana Holgate, Welfare & Campaigns Officer, has put together some self-care tips to help you in doing this, which you can find on the SU Facebook page. |
| Please find a full statement of solidarity, support and resources from the Sabbatical Officer team. |
| Best wishes, |
Ben Newsham
Warwick SU President |
