The SRC will be attending the No Pride in Genocide sit-in on Saturday 18 July.
We’ll be heading to Glasgow Green, where No Pride in Genocide will be gathering alongside Glasgow’s Pride before holding a sit-in rather than joining the main march.
The sit-in has been organised as a grassroots Pride space and as a protest against the corporate sponsorship and corporatisation of Glasgow’s Pride. It will also centre solidarity with Palestine and the idea of Pride as protest.
As in the previous two years, the SRC Executive has made the decision to support this alternative Pride space. This follows student feedback and ongoing conversations about the values Pride should reflect.
All University of Glasgow students (and staff) are welcome to join us, whether you’d like to stay for the full event or just drop in.
SRC Meeting Point
If you’d like to travel with the SRC group from campus, we’ll be meeting outside the front of the McIntyre Building on University Avenue at 10:30am before heading to Glasgow Green together.
We’ll also have a second meeting point at the McLennan Arch at Glasgow Green at 11:00am. From there, we’ll head over together to join the No Pride in Genocide group.
Students are welcome to join us at either meeting point, or to make their own way to the event.
Transport
The nearest major public transport links include High Street station, Argyle Street station and St Enoch Subway, though some onward walking may be required depending on your route.
