ICU has ten Liberation & Community Networks
Historic liberation movements such as civil rights, gay liberation fronts, women's liberation and disability rights campaigns help make our society more inclusive and diverse. Liberation groups today continue to challenge public misunderstanding and social injustices in today's society.
So what do the networks do at Imperial?
- They organise campaigns to tackle particular problems faced by their members
- They facilitate the building of community amongst their members and wider community
- They provide a safe space for students who identify with them
- They're a support network for their members - particularly for personal problems related to their identity
All Liberation and Community Network members are elected in the Leadership Elections. All elected network members work as a team to better their community and lobby Imperial to improve their support for underrepresented students.
