Interested in socialist ideas? Enjoy discussing politics? Want to get involved in campaigning and activism? We are the society for you!
SPS is a student society that focuses on the issues our generation is facing. Our aim is to provide a welcoming environment for students to engage in discussions about progressive ideas and to encourage students to get involved in campaigning for a better and fairer society.
Over the last year, humanity has witnessed attacks on abortion rights, attacks on voting rights, and attacks on students and the working class. Reading these headlines over the past year no doubt made you angry. It made us angry too, and we must stay angry! We must channel our anger into fighting for change. Our society members work together to do exactly that.
Educate, inform and show people socialist ideas- sharing important resources and information with people who are not aware.
Host discussions/ guest speakers to talk about politics, ideas, and the history of the progressive movement.
Increase student engagement on campus to advocate for university students' concerns.
Currently we are working on;
