Jessie & Mattie For LGBTQUA+
Jessie (She/Her)
I am a lesbian and a 2nd year Philosophy, Politics and Economics student. As an international student, I am interested in improving welfare for queer students from across the world. I have been the Outreach Officer for Warwick PLAN.
Mattie (He/They)
I’m Mattie, a 2nd year Maths student. As a Pansexual on campus, I am interested in LGBTQUA+ representation, ducks and crochet. I am Social secretary for PLAN regularly running events to create an inclusive and stronger community, often collaborating with Pride. I am also on welfare forums, striving for a better student environment.
Manifesto
- Advocate for gender-neutral toilets in new buildings to support the well-being of queer students.
- Provide free period products in men's toilets.
- Organize more queer-themed events during Queer History Month, such as movie nights and guest speaker events.
- Improve pronoun options on university systems such as evision, allowing for more inclusive choices like he/they and she/they.
- Update welfare training to include current LGBTQ+ issues and concerns.
- Launch a Queer Culture Campaign to support queer students internationally:
- Create an accommodation fund to provide financial aid and safe housing for international students who feel unsafe at home due to their queer identity.
- Expand mental health resources for students who cannot safely come out at home, including guidance on coming out at university and a feedback form for queer students.
