| DPAC fully support disabled students taking part in this march even if the NUS disgracefully say they no longer support it. We’d like to ask all disabled people who can to join with disabled students fighting for inclusion and rights to come along and join the march. Access information will be available shortly on the facebook page and we will add it to the website as soon as we have it.https://www.facebook.com/events/775841715811858/permalink/775879035808126/

Assemble – Senate House, Malet Street, London

On 19 November, school, college and university students from across the country will be marching in London under the banner “Free Education: No fees. No cuts. No debt.” Disabled students will be there! It’s time to put this issue onto the political agenda and to fight for a public, democratic education system that serves the vast majority in society and is free and accessible to everyone.
Disabled student will be meeting at the front of the march, outside Senate house. For more information on accessibility and anything else please email againstfeesandcuts@gmail.com
Free education is not just about abolishing fees, disabled students demand:
-Full living grants for all, and abolish tuition fees
-Full financial support for all access needs, save DSA but even more. We need to cancel DSA cuts, not just delay them.
-Decently funded support services on campuses for disabled students and university psychological services
-Defend the NHS from privatisation and fund it properly, improve mental health care resources
-Smash high rents, provide good quality accessible student housing. Ensuring Universities invest in accessible accommodation.
-Fund institutions to upgrade for full accessibility
To achieve these, we need a democratic, public education system controlled by communities, students and workers, and we need to fund it using the resources of those who can afford it – by taxing the rich, and by putting the wealth of the banks that we bailed out under democratic control.
****Invite your friends and colleagues!****
The demonstration is being organised by the National Campaign Against Fees & Cuts (https://anticuts.com/), the Student Assembly Against Austerity, and the Young Greens.
