Today, a #BlackLivesMatter 🧵 of black women in Scotland. 1st is a statue (to a nameless woman but the UK's 1st) on Lothian Road, Edinburgh. Victory is Certain by Ann Davidson (let's hope) It was unveiled by Suganya Chetty, a member of the African National Congress, who lived here in the 80s /1

Its not oil and gas or green energy, its both.

The oil and gas workers of today will go on to become the green energy workers of tomorrow. These workers must be protected if we are to realise a green and just transition.

The morning session at #FELA25 had lively debate with motions on the rise of misogyny, the increasing workload of lecturers, consent around the filming of classes and learning materials and much more.

"From Glasgow to Edinburgh, Dundee to Fife purple FELA hats have been a constant at every Palestinian march across Scotland. You recognise that our liberation is contingent on the liberation of Palestine, you in the college sector understand and appreciate a collective struggle"

It is an honour to be here today as you take stock of all that has gone on last year after one of the longest public sector pay disputes in Scotland.

Congratulations to you for your victory over pay.
